Our Day in New York

We went into the city early Sunday morning to wait on line
for tickets to Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare in the park.
We set up for a long wait but soon found out that we were
unlikely to get them. We were just to far back in line.

One rule we made was that we would not pass
a single water fountain without taking a drink!
