Today Ryan and I went back to the East Village Cheese shop and each bought our favorite kinds of cheese. I can’t believe how cheap cheese is there. My Havarti was $2.99 a pound, and Ryan’s Brie was $3.00 for 14 oz. What a huge amount of cheese! I had to take a picture to document this beautiful cheese.

We really like cheese.

Tonight we also put together our Easter baskets for each other. They are all ready for tomorrow morning!

There’s also a picture of one of the baskets being weighed in. (wink wink)

70 pounds!

Today was a gorgeous spring day. Warm and sunny, with a bright blue, welcoming sky.

Ryan and I walked all over Greenwich Village, Noho, and East Village. We visited 5 bookstores we had never been to. My favorite was St. Marks Bookshop, it was very trendy with great displays. I got the new Paris Review, and a back issue of McSweeney’s – number 17. This was the awesome one that was designed to look like the contents of your mailbox.

The Jefferson Market Library branch in Greenwich Village was incredible. It feels like an old castle. Here’s a picture of the outside, the tower was really cool, and that’s where the staircase is up to the second floor.

I took some pictures of Grace Church as we walked by. I’m always surprised by how many breathtaking churches there are in the city.

When we got over to East Village, Ryan got us fries at Pomme Frites and I got two cheeseburgers at Paul’s. Then we took our haul over to Tompkins Square and ate on a bench in the park.

After coming home we promptly passed out for a few hours, and then woke up and watched some netflix movies.

My idea of a perfect saturday!

Show us your favorite sunset picture.
Submitted by B. Mag.

This one is my favorite. I took it my first evening in Nice, France.

I also love this one. I took this on my 21st birthday in San Francisco. I don’t know the person in the picture, but they seemed happy to be alive. It was a happy to be alive sort of day.

I also like how somber this one is. I took this from the spanish steps in Roma. It was a beautiful evening.

And for kicks, here is my favorite picture of a sunrise. Taken before class at The American University of Rome.
