New York: I

We have now arrived in New York, USA, and are based at our hotel near Times Square.

It is exceptionally cold, even during daylight hours; to such an extent that we've both invested in two pairs of ear-muffs.

Although the streets are dry, heaps of solid ice lie at the roadsides.

We're spending several days here.

We ate at a local diner called Junior's last night.

This morning we breakfasted there, too: French toast, crispy bacon, syrup, large glasses of orange juice, unlimited coffee.

Our bill this morning was about $55 for breakfast, including the tip.

Now that I've paid for wifi at the hotel ($20), for two days, I hope to send several more articles.
