New York City was cold and windy 23 degrees Fahrenheit today. We, and everybody visiting, decided on indoor activities. This city isn’t quite big enough for all the folks who are here visiting! We spent six hours in the American Museum of Natural History. We must have walked around six miles! By the looks, so did half the residents of Manhattan. We do museums on most trip to major cities. This one didn’t disappoint. The Hayden Planetarium show was interesting. Whoopi Goldberg narrated Journey to the Stars. It is obvious that some exhibits in the massive buildings have been updated while others have not. The Halls of Minerals and Gems showed the nice use of modern display space.
We stumbled out directly onto the subway at around 4:30 pm. We’ve come back to Brooklyn just to get out of our heavy winter wear and relax with a cup of tea. On all trips like this a kettle comes along in the luggage.
Jay’s brother has invited us over for dinner to the place where he lives. As he doesn’t finish work until 8:00, we have a bit more time before we have to head back to Manhattan. We lives within walking distance from Times Square. I might post this blog entry upon returning. Today, I forgot to take the xD card out of the notebook. I only took eight or nine shots so they all fit on the internal memory. I can’t find a way to copy them onto the card but have that option on the little Kodak camera. Anyway, I will probably get something posted for my “Daily Picture Parade” either tonight or tomorrow.
I hope it warms up. I guess after thirty years away, I’m no longer a New Englander.
