Tegan Just woke Kahn up laughing so hard from your "it wasn't the reaction I expected" comment. good work Ev. Central Park over looking the plaza is beautiful. Can't believe you got away with it. But also can't believe you didn't get to go on sex and the city tour! Can't wait to see you in September! Xo

Margaret I loved reading your blog Ev. You will enjoy reading it yourself in the years to come. Your kids will be impressed by the proposal story, as Leonie and Peter have commented, you won't get a better place for a proposal.x

Peter Bendeich Ev and Ran delete the word "down" in my comment - the keyboard got the better of me.... Pierre

Leonie Bendeich Hi Ev, love your blog, I had butterflies in my stomach with your recount of the proposal. A girl couldn't ask for better! You certainly gave New York a good run. Look forward to the next instalment .

Peter Bendeich Ev - you could not have done down any better than propose to our daughter in New York City - well done - she will be impressed. See you in Honolulu....many beers to be had here Pierre

Kate Hi, I hope you don't mind me posting as I'm a stranger and it's a couple of years after your blog post! The Queen's mother was not Elizabeth I (Elizabeth I died in 1603!) nor Victoria (who died in 1901). She was called Elizabeth though, was queen consort of George VI and was known as the 'Queen Mother' subsequent to his death to distinguish her from her daughter Elizabeth II, the current Queen.

Leonie Hi Evan and Ran, Really enjoyed reading your travel blog. Looking forward to the next instalment. Love Leonie and Peter

Vlada Ahhh those platform shoes..Hmmm..they look faoulbus, but I wonder If I could actually walk in them. I'm only 5'3" and I wear heals aaaall the time. Great photos!

Marisa Great blog post Ev, brings back memories of my European adventure as I lived Lucerne and lauterbrunnen. I also thought Geneva was the capital. I will now remember its Bern by thinking of the bears! Lots of love to you both xx
