I'm sitting drinking a coffee in MoMA. For the last two hours we have been immersed in the world of Dada at a special exhibition, which includes many of the original works from artists such as Hans Arp, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp. Man Ray, Hannah Hoch...the list goes on. Four and a half hours later (after entering) we left MoMA!!

At the half price ticket office off Times Square we purchased two tickets for tonights performance of Hairspray. Then we wandered down Broadway and now find ourselves in Bubba Gumps seafood and shrimp restaurant, themed on the film Forest Gump. We've ordered the mahi mahi and wait in anticipation! While waiting we were cross-examined on our knowledge of Forest Gump. We wondered if they wouldn't serve us if we didn't get the questions right!!! The mahi mahi was delicious, and after a quick change at the hotel we were back on Broadway. Hairspray is a lively full-on rockin' musical set in the 60's, full of colour, excitment and frivolity, yet reflective of the time of change. We really enjoyed the pure joy of the occasion, and the all American demonstrative response of the audience. On the way back to our hotel we stopped off for a hot chocolate :-)
