Not only did a decade come to an end last night, but this little break will be over tomorrow. The direct flight back to Vancouver doesn’t leave JFK until 9:45 pm. I guess that means we get most of the day in New York City. It certainly means we’ll go to Manhattan after we eat breakfast, and pack and store our bags. Today was just a nice slow day. The crowds out there were far less dense than during last evening’s festivities. The rain, hail, and snow had subsided. We had never been to an arch we’d seen in pictures. It turns out it is in Washington Square. We also walked around Bryant Park but did not try skating. Of course every trip out of Brooklyn seems to include Times Square , but today there was even a repeat of Rockefeller Plaza.
It was supposedly 40 degrees Fahrenheit today and calm but promises to get windy and colder tomorrow. We’ll not arrive at YVR until 12:45 am on Saturday morning. I’m gong to miss being able to walk just a block for an MTA subway for easy access to the NYC area. This week has been a nice get-away.
