Belle on the subway

Today I took Belle to see her first Broadway show: Rogers &Hammerstein's Cinderella. We dropped Emily at Nadia's house and then drove to our old stomping grounds. I parked the car on the Upper West Side and then we took the subway to Times Square.
Belle was at first frightened by the subway (so crowded, so noisy, so utterly unfamiliar), but then she embraced the excitement of it.
(First on my lap, then on her own seat looking out the window).
