Our Fateful Walk through Central Park
Mom and I left the hotel about an hour after I returned from my run/walk. I wonder why Mom didn't get a phone photo here? Maybe we were in a hurry. We headed to the nearby Stage Star deli for a delicious bite. I had a bagel and lox, yum. And then we headed into the...
The rest of my walk through Central Park
I'd never seen this statue before. It's inscribed, Dedicated to the Indomitable Spirit of the Sled Dogs that relayed antitoxin 600 miles over rough ice over treacherous waters through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925....
Monday morning in New York
When I woke up on Monday morning at around 9:30, on our last full day in New York, I looked out the window to see what was happening down the avenue. There was a guy on the roof across the street. He didn't seem to be doing much. Loitering. Down below, traffic had...
Sunday afternoon in NYC, June 21st, 2026
On Sunday afternoon we hopped on a bus for the short ride down to the library. This picture is funny to me because that's what happens when you don't quite get somebody in the frame. Oops, sorry, Mom. We walked through the library and out the side door then headed to...
New York on Sun. June 21st, 2026
We stayed up late (for me, and early for Mom) watching TV, and on Sunday morning, the expo was still going on. Not so busy at 10:30 on Sunday morning. Ready to roar out at the crack of noon! Mom was agreeable about going back to the Astro Diner for breakfast, probably...
Saturday night in NYC
All dressed up and ready to go! I'd never changed outfits so much on a trip, except when Kevin and I were super duper dressed up for sailing to and from the UK, and then changed to hiking gear for marching along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in Wales. And before that...
The Met on Saturday in New York
When we got to the Met it was very crowded. The line was long, and I snuck a photo of these oddly-dressed young women. Mom tried to ask them if they were in a play, but they didn't speak English. I told her I was sure they weren't in a play, but on the other hand, why...
Saturday, June 20th in NYC
I woke up on our second day in the city with plans. Did I? Yes, I always have a plan. I believe I intended to go up to the Metropolitan and maybe the Frick and also Central Park, which is just about my favorite place to sit and watch people in NYC. But when I opened...
Quickly, the rest of the first day in NYC…
It was Friday, June 19th, and we'd breakfasted, we'd gelato'd, we'd walked a lot at the Little Island and the High Line, and I was in need of refreshment after all that walking. We'd managed to walk a few blocks to a drugstore on our first night to get bottled water...
First Full Day in NYC!
Well, here are some of the photos from our first day - we were busy and of course I took more than one million pictures. Even though I've whittled them down to way less than a million, I still have to break up our first day into two segments. So this should really be...
Getting to New York…
Mom and I left for New York on Thursday, June 18th. Our plane didn't leave til the three in the afternoon so it was a leisurely drive to the St. Louis airport Or it would have been a leisurely drive, except as we neared St. Louis it started to pour down rain. The only...
