Holiday Inn Midtown, NYC:  Michele and Norman came uptown and joined us for breakfast at the Flame Diner.  After breakfast we walked over to the subway with them and they headed downtown to walk the Brooklyn Bridge and we headed to Lincoln Center for the ballet.  We picked up our tickets and then had a couple of drinks at a nearby restaurant and then headed back to Lincoln Center for the ballet.  The American Ballet Theater performed Dream and Firebird.  They perform at the Metropolitan Opera House in the summer.  We had box seats and a great view of the stage and the orchestra pit.  The performances were great with beautiful costumes and sets.  After the ballet we met Michele and Norman at the Rosa Mexicano just across the street from Lincoln Center.  Had a great dinner and then we all took the subway back downtown to 34^th Street and Macy’s.  Walked around there for a while and bought some ice cream and went to their hotel lobby to savor them.  Left them and took the subway back uptown to our hotel.  So tired.  We’re meeting them for breakfast at their hotel tomorrow morning before they leave on the train.  Pooped.
