perfect day in nyc

june 7th, i went to meet my friend ana for the paella parade at south street sea port. it was a beautiful day in manhattan. it started out a little rocky, the paella parade was chaos under a tent. but all in all it was a fantastic day. one of the type of days that make me so happy i live in new york city. oh! and i finally found the shade of saffron yellow bed sheets that i've been hunting a year for!
after the pealla parade, we decided to walk the brooklyn bridge to meet carmen in dumbo and get a ice cream cone at jacques torres. i saw hearts everywhere.
i came home and relaxed in my peaceful apartment and even had the moment to call my best friend jen to wish her a happy birthday. happy birthday jen! i love you.
