Our Weekend: Brooklyn Bridge

This weekend marked the end of Mr. Snoop's time in his psychiatry rotation.  He just missed the guy dangling from the Tappan Zee bridge, who came in to the psych unit at Westchester Medical Center once he failed to swim away from the police.  Too bad!  To celebrate his weekend off, we spent Saturday in the city.  Mr. Snoop has never walked to Brooklyn Bridge, so we did that.  And then we went to Grimaldi's Pizza on the other side.  We waited 45 minutes.  Worth it.

After Grimaldi's, we had ice cream (totally decadent) and then went over to the High Line, which we have both been wanting to do.  For those of you who haven't heard about it, the High Line is an old elevated train track which they have turned into a park on the Lower West Side.  It is pretty awesome. 

On the train down to the Brooklyn Bridge there was a group of guys chatting en espanol.  I was super excited because they were calling each other "wey" and "cabron."  It was like a little piece of home on the subway.  Then later in the day we witnessed several episodes of New Yorker Psychosis on the train.  Sometimes I really wonder about peoples' blood pressure up here.  All that anger can't be good for you.

Also, while in the city we were stopped by four separate people/groups asking us for directions, which made me happy.  I guess when your husband is wearing a tshirt that says "Rebuilding Lives- Annunciation Mission, New Orleans" you look pretty approachable.  I was glad because I actually knew enough to help them! 

Mr. Snoop starts his ObGyn rotation today.  This week he is doing Gyn surgery, which he was feeling a little unnerved about.  Good thing he had Woo to help him break in his surgery crocs.

PS: Mom, this is the new rug I was telling you about.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
