New York city-June14-C

I just spent the last day and a half in NYC for the Pereira/Zisa wedding.  They picked an old carousel at the bottom of the Brooklyn bridge in Brooklyn.  Manhattan and the brige were in the background as well as many onlookers that gave the wedding an amazingly relaxed feel.  One of the highlights of the wedding for me was the band.  As you walked up to the carousel, they were rocking out and in the finale, they played Jackson 5 while we rode the carousel around.  Monica and David have so much personality and it showed throughout the whole wedding.  David walked in to the band playing "The Next Episode" by Dr Dre.  He danced through the crowd and had fun approaching the officiant (Monica's good friend from childhood).  Monica and her parents walked in to a latin song, no one could take their eyes off the bride, not even the hundreds of onlookers to the ceremony. 

Other New York trips

Their band was SO good!

Now I'm on to the one chunk of my trip that I am dreading. I have a 14 hour flight to Tokyo, an overnight layover, a 9 hour flight to Jakarta and then an 8 hour bus ride to Yogyakarta. I did some yoga(prana power in Brooklyn-very sweaty and challenging class) and walking this morning since I know my body is going to get SO antsy! I am hoping for a good (hot) seat neighbor for this first flight, but I'll settle for no kids or snorers. I wish I would get to see a bit of Tokyo while I am there, but I have an airport change-still, I'm thinking about the option of trying to get out in the city...
