Hi Sarah. I'm glad you can come to my party on Friday night. My house
is easy to find. From your house go straight up Broadway to the corner
of Broadway and Second Avenue. Turn right. Go straight two blocks
and then turn left. It's on the left on the corner of First Avenue and
Central Street. See you on Friday!
