first day

mini bout of hysteria in the social security office today when the clerk asked to see our marriage certificate. this is difficult as the piece of paper is sitting in a shipping container at city airport in storage. (apparently going through two months of paperwork to secure or visas isn't enough proof that we are married.)

  things improved this afternoon when we walked along every single street in downtown Manhattan.

  and then the best thing in the world; the best supermarket in the world. so many tomatoes! amazing!
