Wednesday – August 8, 2012
Today was another quick day! It seemed to fly by. We all gathered at Nancy’s house in the morning and she drove into the city. We had talked about a variety of plans to see some more sights in New York City but visiting with other cousins won out. Francoise really wants to see as many cousins as possible.
French & American Cousins
We enjoyed a lamb & chicken shish-k-bob with pilaf lunch with my first cousins who are staying in Manhattan. One of the cousins is visiting from Maine. The Armenian diaspora is really spreading out.

Afterwards we drove north to Rockefeller Center and parked the car in a garage. We walked around and looked at the sights and all the tourists! This is another popular tourist place in the “Big City”.

We walked around to Fifth Avenue to visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We were among many more tourists visiting the famous church. It was also a cool place to sit and chat.

Our goal for the evening was the Cirque de Soleil show of Zarkana at Radio City Music Hall. We had ordered tickets because we thought Francoise would really enjoy the performance of those amazing acrobats. It was a fabulous show and we all had a great time with our cousins!
