Stopped by Croissanteria Coffee...

... on our walk home.  Cloudy and rainy here today.  Hurricane Arthur off of the coast is going to bring in some rain pretty much all day.  We have chosen to relax today in the casa, out of the rain and just put our feet up.

Don't know our plans yet for later...  We are 2 blocks away from the East River which is what the Brooklyn Bridge crosses and fireworks show will be.  Don't know if we want to mingle with the masses tonight or if we want to try to find a roof top.  So exciting we are so close to "the" holiday in NYC!!!
