What a day.....

Today was a busy day!

Started with Jazz Funk this morning with Chio.  Chio is the BOMB and it was her birthday today, so Happy Birthday Chio!  Her class was awesome as usual!  My brain, however, was in slow mode cause we got up so late that I didn't have time for coffee.  This is because I kept hitting snooze when the alarm sounded.  Super proud of myself.......NOT!
We also forgot about our laundry and it wasn't until Elliott got into the shower in this morning that he realised we had left the towels in the dryer!  I managed to make it from floor 15 to the basement return, in my pj's without encountering another person.  Pretty lucky :)
My second class was Stiletto Heels.  Have never taken this class before or taken this teacher.  She was awesome and her warm-up had SOOOOOOOOOOO many sit ups.  Even more than I can imagine.  All the while she jumped around the room looking joyful.  The routine was super sexy and one of the warm-up activities involved 'strutting' around the room' then freestyling.  So much fun!

We then went out to get lunch and COFFEE.  Me without coffee til about 2pm is not pretty!  I raced to starbucks for my latte and then we got lunch at the Food Emporium.  I felt sad for  homeless lady and her dog so gave them some money.  I probably should have bought them both some food.......mmmmmmm

We went back to BDC and I took stretch while Elliott took Hip Hop and then we both took Luam's Hip Hop class.  For this class you have to wear an arm band and I still think they put about 80 students in the room.  It is sooooooo packed.  She is such a great teacher and such a great choreographer that it is worth the squashiness.  Her routine today was no disappointment.  Super challenging and intricate but really good to dance.  There was a young guy in the class who just was amazing.  Shows you what training hard can do!  Another reason I love coming to take a million classes - to watch the awesome young talent that is coming into the dance world.

Elliott and I then went down to the World Trade Center Memorial site.  So well thought out - so well put together.  If I had lost a friend or family member on 9/11 I would be so happy with the way that the site has been constructed.  With space and water and trees and much love and care.  Really glad that I went down and took time to walk around and reflect. Next year the museum should be opened - which I would love to see!

We then walked down to the World Financial Center and had a nice dinner overlooking the Hudson River.  I have never really been down to this area before but will definitely visit again.

Going to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in the morning - even though the forecast is for rain!
