Arrival

So, here are the last couple of days...

We arrived at JFK at about 6:32 local time, about half an hour early.  We got a taxi and proceeded to 75 Thayer St.  On the way the cab driver pulled over to a Dunkin' Donuts for like ten min.  Two min after he had left it became obvious that he had double parked.  After four min. of sitting the lady we were trapping wanted to leave and honked angrily for the next six min while we sat there awkwardly.  We eventually found our new home and got all our stuff in to the vestibule.  We were supposed to meet the building manager at about 8:00.  We met the super at about 8:20 and he had not been told that we would be moving in on that day.  He turned out to be a really cool guy.  His name is Zef.  He is an older Jewish man and is incredibly nice and helpful.  He let us know that the building management lady would be arriving at 10:00.  So we got to put our stuff in the apartment, then we went and got breakfast and explored the neighborhood.  Eventually the building manager showed up and  had the walk through, which took about 35 seconds because we had already seen the apartment via photo tour.  We were then told that we would have to go all the way to Great Neck Long Island to sign the lease.  I'm too tired to finish this story right now.  The rest of this story will have to wait for another day, when I am able to steal someone else's internet access.  Or until we get our own internet access.  TTFN.  Ta ta for now.
