The City So Nice They Named It Twice

I went with a group of friends to New York City to see our plucky Minnesota Twins take on that evil Empire, the New York Yankees. The Twins ended up losing both games we went to, the first 8-2, the second 5-1.


It was pretty much my first time in New York but we didn't have a lot of time to sight see. We did make it to Ground Zero where it truly was hard to comprehend all that was lost on that day.


We also saw the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from across the harbor. We even jogged through Central Park.

Out hotel was right next to an ASPCA building. It crossed my mind that I should adopt a cat there but I think he/she might speak in a New York accent that would confuse the boyz. She/He'd also probably be a lot more street wise and tough.



Seeing Yankee Stadium was really cool even if the Twins didn't do well at all.

Ahhhh, there you have been! Sorry that the Twins lost.

But do you mean also C & P will not understand the German cats? ;-)

We are so glad that you visited our hometown! The Yankees will have a new stadium soon. Maybe you can come back for that! Our family are Mets fans.
