Yey! Having fled the English heatwave only to encounter rain (to a flooding-the-streets level), we have sun once more. New York is a blissful and glorious place. I've conveniently managed to find a few hours between meetings to investigate the local parks - all in the interest of cultural learnings, of course, and have found them to be of a satisfyingly high standard. Photos to come once my computer starts playing nicely. Also found an amazing jazz bar last night, which I may well return to before I go. Have befriended the barman so am getting super-large G&Ts, and someone to chat to into the bargain. Plus amazing jass. All good.
Met one of the partners at an agency over here today who's done exactly the same rail adventure as I'll be going on, and says it is utterly awesome. Am looking forward to the trains through canyons, indian attacks etc (well, they happen in the adverts!)
During these many adventures, I've finally read The Handmaid's Tale - Becky, you'll be happy - and declare it one of my favourite books ever. Read it. NOW! 
My major success of the day is to have avoided shopping so far. If I am lucky, i will keep this up for another hour whilst in my next meeting.
No other major events to report. I saw a rat today (filthy city). Am also sitting in the ING direct banking cafe!!! In the very midst of a brand experience! How adland am I?
Thinking about going surfing at the weekend, weather allowing...
