| Well
after a long day yesterday we slept in late this morning before
venturing out. It was midday before we left the apartment or thereabouts
but with the sun out and being rugged up we managed well outdoors. We
went down to 5th Avenue and watched some of the St Patrick"s day Parade
before finding a coffee shop for our first Latte of the day. On from
there we walked down to Central Park and had a long walk there before
seeing the Dakota Building, where John and Yoko lived. Not far along
from there was the New York Historical Society Museum. This was really
quite good and I even managed to take a picture of Dr OZ from TV fame.
(Mum likes this show, so I got the picture for her.) I'm sure Dr Oz was
totally uninterested in me taking his picture but I took it anyway. It was time to return back to our apartment after that so we dropped into a shopping Centre and bought groceries to make dinner and arrived home around 8.00 p.m  |

looks cold. that tourist is everywhere. Is that the C/Park bridge we see in the movies?Dr Oz looks a bit older.Are you going to Manhattan?You might see some Woody Allen shots. lol.
ReplyDeleteIts colder today and we've had snow and rain! We are staying in Manhattan, its a great spot, close to plenty of things. I thought Dr Oz looked older too. We have booked to see a Noel Coward play starring Kevin Kline next Wednesday, looking forward to that,. The weather was a bit trying today but still made the most of it. xx
DeleteCool pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave yes it was splendid weather for pics, not so much today!
DeleteDid Michelle get her mini Ipad? xx
Love your pics Trace, especially Central Park which looks so pretty with all the snow and fun to experience a bit of St Patrick's Day celebrations too. It sounds like you have really settled in well into New York. The temperature and conditions look similar to Calgary, so I know how cold you must be feeling...brrrr.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan its funny you should say that about Calgary as I actually thought of you and Calgary when it was snowing and thought the same thing. Its the old scarf up around the face trick being deployed yet again!!!!!! LOL
