Ran around the whole day, again. So I feel like this construction worker from the WTC site:
Ran around the financial district a bit. Trinity Church:
New York really is a green city, there's bloody trees everywhere
Some flowers in Battery Park
more tomorrow, sleepy now.

I have been reading closely the accounts of your adventures. It is interesting reading, indeed. I admire you for mingling with the unwashed masses rather than simply hiring an automobile and following a tour map. You are seeing, slowly, a side of New York that European tourists VERY often miss. To see only the tourist stops is to miss out on the soul of America, Orcas notwithstanding. Good stuff!
ReplyDeletePS- Should you decide to make it back on down to the Baltimore/DC area, please be warned that you haven't seen nothin' yet, humidity-wise. How nice if you could spend the 4th of July evening on the National Mall in Washington. Please try.
ReplyDeleteHey Max, your admiration is welcome, if misplaced. Remember, I am from good old Europe. My first instinct will always be using public transport or walking, with renting a car a distant third option...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately my flight back leaves on July 4th - I plain forgot about Independence day when I booked the flight :(
