Birthday Excursion *postponed*

Sunday was set as the day to give Joaquin his birthday gift. His gift was a day in the city going to a few places to celebrate his Birthday. J had an amazingly challenging week last week, including 4 (count them) 4 final exams, plus his normal full work schedule which included him witnessing and assisting with 4 Euthanasia cases at the Vet. Hospital. By the time Sunday rolled around he had zero energy and simply slept for hours and hours. So he decided to cash in on his gift when he is 100%. The gift is as follows. 1. Take NJ Transit to the city and head up to TAO Restaurant on the upper east-side for a drink. The largest Asian restaurant/bar in the city. Check out "decor" photos on their site if you want to catch a glimpse of the16 foot Buddah in the space. Next stop is set to be Il Bastardo, a restaurant with Northern Italian food. Next stop was to stop by Barnes and Noble to pick up a book that J wants "The Golden Compass". After that, we are set to have a walk in Little Italy for some dessert.
