Every now and then you have a rough assignment -- like going to NYC at Christmas time. We had to renew Ev's Brazilian passport that had expired and the consulate made our appointment for December 16. It all went so smooth I could hardly believe it.
It was a quick trip, but we stayed at a hotel across the Hudson River the night before and took a ferry over to Manhattan. (No, we didn't have to stop and rescure any plane crash survivors on that trip). It was a bit chilly that morning, -7ยบ so you'll understand why Ev is dressed the way she was. Then we had a little sandwich at the Carnegie Deli (and split a NY style cheesecake) before heading back home. (By the way, the temperature listed was Centigrade; Ev is warm blooded.)
