Toured Manhattan coming home to my cuz! From PA morning view at breakfast onward to a greenhouse to a tunnel under the Hudson River!! Through Central Park, hotels, cathedrals, awesome drive today!

Walking along a new cement boardwalk, Hurricane Sandy took out the age old wooden one, I was getting in as much walking on it being only 2 short blocks away from it before we head to PA for part of the weekend. Then Noon time came and it was time to take off crossing bridges zipping through Brooklyn and Staten Island, and even a bit of Jersey al the whole thinking of the show ‘The Sopranos’. Haha!!

After we turned off a busy highway we were in the country large houses barns some fields lots and lots of trees. And GREEN!!

My cousins’ friends own if not the oldest one of the oldest Dutch Stone homes in the area being built in 1778.

We zipped into Easton to buy some bread and mushrooms at the oldest running farmers markets in the nation. I’m in deep history country here!! I didn’t know that the crayola factory is here too bad I flew no room for gifts!!

I sound smart when clients asked me about birds, the ones that visit at my trees I’m full of knowledge. here I did recognize a bluebird and a woodpecker fighting over a suet cake but hearing birds in the trees new calls I’ve never heard or know who is singing I wished I knew more.

Anyway off to ride on the Staten Island Ferry just like in ‘Working Girl’ 😊😊 and walk around lower Manhattan tomorrow!!

Oh yep it only took less than two days for skin to change and feel wonderful with all this wonderful humidity !!

This is a big first for me, to be a typical tourist! I have a great cousin who is hosting me as she buys and sells a home!

After watching Ken Burns Documentary about NYC I’ve wanted to see this city. There is 6,000 miles of streets there! A cool book by an author who walked all the streets and absorbed the sights and sounds of all the neighborhoods took 3 years of his life to accomplish this project. I started the book and hope to finish it this summer.

I have a request through Amy that Paxton wants me to get a picture of the ‘lady’ the Statue of Liberty and a double decker bus. Which should be very doable.

After hearing the itinerary that Denise has for me Cliff now states that he wishes he was going, I only believe this comment maybe 1/4 of truth hahaha!!! He hates going to Grans Junction still so NYC???? HA.
