Southhampton is a very nice place. It has a bay, a beach, and a lot of other cool things, too. My aunt had a lot of cucumbers! It is one of the only things we ate at dinner. (HH note: Nina made a LOT of other food) The bay had a current, so me and Jim liked to ride it.
We are in New York City now. It is very hot and humid. There are a lot of tall buildings and shops. Unfortunately they don’t give tours of the stock market anymore. We went on the Staten Island ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty (Did you know that most people from other countries coming to America first came to New York?). I didn’t know the Statue of Liberty was so green! New York is very nice. I’ll blog more soon. Bye!

We are wrapping up our stay in the Hamptons. Theo and I came to meet Nina, Michael’s sister, and her husband Jim. It has been a great few days.
We went to the bay side of Long Island and did some fishing (caught some great micro-snappers, which we threw back), some rock and shell collecting, and Theo learned how to do some current-drifting. (This is when you get in the incoming tide current and float along letting the current carry you).
We also went to the ocean side of Long Island where the beach and strong ocean waves are.
Theo and I played a round of mini-golf and went to the batting cages.
But mostly, we shared some good meals (i.e. Nina cooked), we talked, hung out together, played cards and just visited. You would never know that it was our first meeting. Here are some pictures of Theo, Nina and Jim.
We have loved being here.
Tomorrow we will take the Hampton Jitney into Manhattan where we will do such varied things as visit Wall Street (Theo’s choice), ride the Staten Island Ferry (Hillary’s choice) and hopefully see a Broadway play. We’ll be staying at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. How very New York.
