Landing

After a reasonable amount of highway drama, we arrived at JFK in plenty of time. We boarded the plane without incident,and we immediately noticed it seemed to have been reserved almost exclusively by Orthodox Jews. Jack and I had seats several rows apart and we were unable to negotiate a switcheroo, but this wasn't a major concern. I took my seat next to a 6 foot tall german woman who thoroughly enjoyed practicing her English on me. I was able to get a decent amount of sleep, and the flight was happily uneventful.
Upon landing,we called a few hostels but they told us we should come by at noon to see about booking a pair of beds. We had 4 hours to kill so we took a series of metros and ended up at a small cafe where we snagged a pastry and a coffee. We talked to a vagrant man on the street for a while, and he told us about some good food spots and his butterfly catching efforts. They seemed to be quite unsuccessful.
We got to Cats hostel a few minutes before noon and were able to get two beds for the night at the cost of 18euros apiece. It is a beautiful place, with Islamic architecture themes and very clean rooms. The people here seem to be very nice as well. Our plans for the rest of the day remain unclear, as we are very tired. We'll see what shapes up.
Mad love
