We got to New York last night just in time for a big Italian dinner with the Maddon family. We had chicken parmesian, pasta, and an awesome salad followed by this enormous cake! The Maddon's little boy, Zachary, is 4 and has leukemia, and we he is one of the kids we are riding in honor of in New York.
When Zachary's mother Emma, who is originally from Italy told her family about our ride, her aunt prepared this cake as a welcoming gift. It is known as "My Aunt's famous Italian Cake" . . . I had two huge peices and slept like a baby :) A great experience.
Today we are going into Manhattan to visit the kids at Sloan Kettering, and we are going to have to take the support car despite several recommendations to avoid driving in the city at all cost . . . (this conflicts with our policy of getting the kids goodie bags at all cost :)
I'm a little anxious about going into such a big town . . . I've never been before, and from what I hear, it is much larger than Tiger, GA.
