Saturday 11th May 2019....New York New York!!!!!!!

We had no internet at the apartment so this is a recap of our weekend.....

Left the house and caught the bus into the city..it was a good ride with little traffic and we then decided to walk the 25 blocks to the apartment rather than take the subway.

The first thing that struck me was all the people..so many different nationalities..so many different languages and all in a hurry.

Found the apartment and it is on the 15 th floor of the building and from the windows there is a perfect uninterrupted view of the Empire State Building.....we went up to the roof top as the sun was setting and the views were awesome!

Gracie new of this piano bar a few blocks away and around 10 pm we walked there.....I really have never been in a place like it....considering how expensive the city is it was good there was no cover charge......the place was quite small and it was packed with a very talented piano player and the music was all Broadway songs....with everyone signing along........then a waitress sang and later the waiter sang ..both incredible voices.....we stayed a couple not hours and it was fun to see and hear!

The walk back home was easy and good.

This morning we went out for breakfast and the just walked around the less crowded areas 

And down to the 911 Memorial which we have seen before but still mind blowing..

Then through the village and back home to the apartment....

Just like this shot it is as if the worker is part of the mural!!

We were going to stay two nights but the forecast for tomorrow is really bad so we have decided to go back this evening...but first we went to Emily’s’ school where the students were performing an end of term play...

It was really well acted and a lovely evening...

Emily’s boss had kindly paid for a Uber to take us home.....and we arrived home just before midnight.....

A fun weekend..

Yashi Kochi!!!!
