Back to the old ball game

Started the day finding the perfect breakfast at a cart around the corner from the hotel - coffee, bagel and bacon and egg roll for under $5.  All freshly cooked to order, too.
Spent the morning looking round Fulton Street Mall in Brooklyn - apparently the third largest commercial areas in NYC.  And has the advantage that stores like Macy's were a little bit quieter than their midtown equivalents!  Some of the bling had to be seen to be believed.

To Chris's delight, we found Arby's - shredded roast beef in your bun, rather than a burger.  He's had a hankering for one since he vivsted the US 10 years ago, and thankfully it lived up to the memory.  Made a nice change, but I forgot that a medium over here is pretty much a super-size back home!  Or as Chris says "It's f@#king huuuuge!"

Coney Island and the Brooklyn Cyclones tonight.  Good fun and, as usual, they won!  This week's freebie was a Baseball shirt each.  And we finally got  a cap to fit Chris's head, too!

To top the night off, everyone that wanted to, got a chance to run the bases after the game.  The footing wasn't too good for Chris's stick, but I ran it anyway.  Yes, I RAN round the field!  OK, it's not a massive distance, 120 yards, I believe, but I did it!

Lazy day tomorrow, mostly shopping,

There's a few baseball pics in the Picasa album.
