Friday, 9/9

Today was a fairly cruise-y day! I went for a walk up to the Australian Pub on W 38th to enquire about their showing of the NRL/AFL finals series. I also wanted to find somewhere to watch the John Isner v Andy Murray quarter final.

So I sat there for a couple of hours watching the match, talking to a lovely girl who was there to watch the replay of the Rugby World Cup. While I was there, I was also talking to some of the staff, and while in conversation, I briefly looked outside to see paparazzi walking backwards down the street. They were following Venus Williams and her mum.

After the tennis finished, I decided to go for a walk. So I walked up 5th avenue, to Central Park and back down 6th. While I was walking up 5th, I saw Venus Williams again! She was taking her cute little fluff ball for a walk!! The puppy was so damn adorable!!

Then I walked back down to where I am staying on E 3rd.

I headed into the common room once I got back, where I met an English girl. We stayed up talking and watching The Proposal. (We've since done some other things together, but I will get to them in due course!!)
