We have had a great time up here but head home ready to get back to normal. It has been fun walking around the city with millions of people. We have overheard some funny conversations. You usually get just a snippet but it's enough to give you the whole story. This afternoon we passed a family on the sidewalk deeply engrossed in a map. Just as we got even with them, the little 10-year-old looking boy said, rather exhaustedly, "Let's just get a taxi!"
On Friday T and I ran in the park and then met H for lunch. We went to Joe's Shanghai and had their pork dumplings.
We walked around some on the Upper East Side and then Friday evening we went to the Neue Galerie. We loved seeing the Klimt, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauerthe, that Ronald Lauder is said to have paid $135 million for. It is stunning.
All day I took pictures of buildings reflected in other buildings.
On Saturday we slept in a little and then went down to the Village to 'Ino for brunch. We walked around a bit and checked out a bookstore and a street fair. It was a pretty day.
This statue stands atop one of the buildings in the Flatiron District. We just happened to see it. H zoomed in with my camera and got this picture. From a distance it looks more like a real man!
