Utah Visitors!

Woo hoo for four day weekends. It wasn't a holiday..just took off Friday and Monday! My friends Cindy and Ashley came in to visit from Utah so we hung out in the city. Its always funny to me when visitors come and ask questions about things in the city... For example, Cindy asked me why the bus had a sign on it that said "next bus please". Most of the time I cannot answer my visitors questions. But then, after two glasses of wine at dinner, I decided that it would be much more fun if I made up answers. On the way home that night, we came across a really nice synagogue and I made up an elaborate story about the struggles of a Jewish community that had escaped persecution in Europe and went to Africa. Then they had to escape persecution in Africa so they came and settled in NYC. They built the synagogue in commemoration of their journey and as a monument to their perseverance. People on the sidewalk next to us were listening in. I think they believed it until I said that the two big ball like objects on the top of the synagogue were a representation of fishing bobbers to remind them of their two trips on boats over water - once to Africa then once to the US. I have a pretty good imagination after some wine. Unfortunately...no pic. You will just have to settle with reading.
