Dearest Marita,
Happy 2009 Valentine’s Day!
I’m glad Valentine’s day is on a Saturday this year. Now we can have the whole day to enjoy, without having to think about work.
For this year’s Valentine’s Day celebration, here’s what I have in store for you:
- Breakfast (or brunch, depending on what time we wake up) – we’ll go to Bar Jamon, which is
Mario Battali’s Spanish restaurant. We can pick from a range of tapas, such as pan con tomate, tortilla catalana, soft egg with ramesco and a host of other pintxos. You can even have jamon iberico again. But I’m sure you will be most excited with their churros y chocolate, which is one of the best rated in the city, and which supposedly is close to what you can get in Madrid or Barcelona. - After Bar Jamon, I’ll treat you to a nice massage in Chinatown. Not the best for ambience,
but effective. I think it’s about time you got a reflexology massage too. But if our schedule gets too tight, we can always postpone the massage for another day.
- Hair relaxing – you might as well relax everything, including your hair! I’ve set an appointment with Lisa for 4:30PM.
- For dinner, we can go to the Terrace Club, right by Rockefeller Center. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we can eat in the terrace. If not, we can have some ramen or soba noodles at Mitsuwa. We’ll pick a table near the big glass windows and enjoy a great view of the river.
Finally, we’ll watch some videos at home before we sleep. Maybe we can travel to Eastern Europe, or New Zealand, or one of the many Caribbean islands we have yet to see? Maybe we can watch a movie about Toulouse-Lautrec? Or about Mozart or Prokofiev? I figured that if we don’t have time for the Chinatown massage, I can give you the amateur version at home. As long as we’re together, that’s all that really matters.
So Happy Valentine’s Day!
I love you very much!
Love
Leo
