Where Ben and Suzanne posed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030421
</PHOTO>
as this gentleman directed traffic
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030422
</PHOTO>
and inside this was the menu

../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030424

which amused Jane and Ben
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030425
</PHOTO>
as Debbie and Andy studied it
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030426

the Yakes spoke with Suzanne
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030427

and I posed with Katie and Jordan

before it became noon so that we could study the drink menu
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030431
</PHOTO>
as the bread arrived
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030432
</PHOTO>
followed by our meals

accompanied by syrup
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030443
</PHOTO>
and eventually drinks
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030444
</PHOTO>
complete with lime.

It took a few tries
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030446
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030447
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030448
</PHOTO>
to get this sign for the collection
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030449
</PHOTO>
and then we went to Central park where these group photos were taken
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030450
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030451

followed by these photos of Ben and Jane.

The Puerto Rican day parade was going in full force and so the police had come from Queens
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030459
</PHOTO>
as we made our way past the horses 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030460
</PHOTO>
to see some of the heroes who were being celebrated
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030461
</PHOTO>
including Princeton's own Sonia Sotomayor
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030462
</PHOTO>
as the parade passed us by
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030463
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030464
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030465

../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030468
</PHOTO>
and so we headed off for the obligatory phone booth picture of Jane
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030469
</PHOTO>
and then visited a high end food store
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030470
</PHOTO>
and a lower end super hero store before heading home.
