Our hotel in on Lexington and 45th. We are sandwiched between the US post office and the shadow of the Chrysler Building. Just opposite is the vibrant food hall of Grand Central's market with it's magnificent upside down tree chandelier.
We like this part of town.
We are both tired today.
We have walked over sixty miles in three days ( fitbit)
The Texan Church shooting is on the news but so is much local news including the Mayor elections.
It would seem New York wants an independent voice and someone who would stand up against Trump for the benefit of the city.
Watching the crowds that unceasingly cheered on the Marathon runners yesterday, it is not hard to see just how proud New Yorkers are of their city.
Normality tomorrow.
Bulldog masturbation, old dog puddles, cat hairs on my trendy New York hoodie ( mutton dressed as lamb - who am I kidding?) and a countdown to a new kitchen !
Hey ho
Ps I managed to watch The Walking Dead last night!
Someone who will stand up to Trump for the benefit of New York City? I nominate Genghis Khan. My son Ian will be arriving in New York City later today. If you bump into him please say hello. Have a safe trip back.
ReplyDelete"mutton dressed as lamb," tee hee hee!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've had a brilliant time. You'll enjoy normality once you've plunged back in 😊
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to get home....
ReplyDeleteMust be a nice time out. The world is a scarier place to live right now no doubt. Hang in there and greetings!
ReplyDeleteYou did so much in a short amount of time. You planned well.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo capturing a great moment! Glad you had a good time in NYC!
ReplyDeleteJust checked out that Wyeth painting....done in 1948. No wonder I relate to it!!
ReplyDelete60 miles of great adventure/food/art. Have a good sleep on way home.
Do the 60 miles make you The Walking (Almost) Dead?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! No grass grew beneath your feet! I love loved your posts from NYC, a place probably more foreign to me than your own village so far away.
ReplyDeleteI will be only walking to the nearest bar x
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're looking forward to a return to routine! Glad you got to visit Christina in person. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds exhausting! Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteCount down to the kitchen...let the excitement begin.
ReplyDeleteGet to see Christina's World close up, huh?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your New York experience! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a short trip?! What about the drag revue/ prof wanted sleaze?
ReplyDeleteYou've made the most of every second - well done. and yes, there are things to look forward to at home, too :)
ReplyDeleteMost of us in the US would like someone elected who will stand up to Trump! I'm so glad you've had a great trip. Travel helps us to appreciate home even more!
ReplyDeleteOMG you're in my city having parallel experiences to me! how long will you be here? any interest in grabbing a quick cup of coffee? email me a 37paddington@gmail.com. xoxo
ReplyDeleteJust on the way home to Newark! Xxx
DeleteAahh “Christina’s World”
ReplyDeleteHow do you like the Museums in NY?
I think this has been a pretty fabulous trip..do you?
I'm glad you came. You look so young looking at Christina's world.
ReplyDeleteExcellent travelogue, sir. Keep the hoody, it suits you. Safe travels home.
ReplyDeleteYou did so much. Lots of walking, lots of seeing, lots of feeling...
ReplyDeleteYour trip seemed faster than A New York minute.
ReplyDeleteLove the hoody and you have made me want to go back to New York now! Have a safe journey home xx
ReplyDeleteBless you both. I am struggling between envy and encouragement. Sounds like a great trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks chuck
DeleteI enjoyed your trip and my feet hurt. Do you have a new feeling and analysis of the wyeth.
ReplyDeleteMy son's office is right there, next to the Chrysler building. It's a great area and I hope you glimpsed Bryant Park a block away in all it's Christmas Market finery with it's outdoor skating rink and all. Also, the hoodie really suits you! In NYC you're as young as you feel.

I was thinking of that painting yesterday. There is a spot near me that looks very similar (without the girl).
ReplyDeleteHow did you find the US Immigration experience? Our last time was so horrendous - the loudest shrieking officials I have ever heard, interminable queues (and no help for the elderly or those with babies) and general aggressive behaviour..... we choose to fly ANYWAY but via the USA as a result. It left me shellshocked for days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great area to stay in. I love your take on the NY experience.
