GO KANDICE

Kandice shaved 10 minutes off her previous time
on her ride to the top.
It was great to have Mike and Kandice here.



HEADED BACK TO THE CABIN

Good Husband moved us to the cabin while I stayed in N.Y.
Picked me up in Denver
This picture says it all.

NEW YORK DAY 12

Circle Line Cruise around the Island. We're just tying up the loose
ends of our trip.
Bus to Times Square and lunch and shuttle to Grand Central
Subway to 86th and on to the Guggenheim and the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit.


Bus to 14th and then on to Abington Square.
G. was needing a softie ice cream and after
trying 2 other kinds in the city we gave
Mr. Softee a try. Hands down thebest
softee ice cream we have ever tasted.
There must be something really bad- health wise-
in these things or they wouldn't taste so good.
Dinner at Tortilla Flats,
Home to pack for leaving tomorrow
Another great trip-- Thanks New York City.

NEW YORK DAY 11

Church, home to change clothes and catch the subway to Times Square.
K. looks pretty good considering she just bought $1500.00 worth of
"Jersey Boys" tickets for their N.Y. trip with 5 other couples in the fall.
Into the Park


Is this like "having a paper route" in our neighbourhood.
Israeli Day Parade.
I have never seen so much security in my life.
Police in cars, police on horseback
and
very large dumptrucks filled with sand
parked in front of the entrance to 5th Avenue.

Hit the Met for a fast look-see and after seeing the line
in the ladies bathroom we tracked down the disabled ladies room
and made G. pretend she was limping.
Thanks Mrs. Davey.

NEW YORK DAY 10


My heart is broken because the opening of the Highline is after we leave. I have

been a supporter, o.k. a supporter at the lowest member level, for the past 5 years

it has been in process. At the other end of the spectrum is the lady that

spontaneously matched a 10 million donation given by Diane and Barry at a

party last weekend. You go nice Lady.
It was further along this week than last. The barricades
were down and it looked wonderful.

A morning walk along the Hudson before T. leaves and
wandered back up Morton St. to Waverly and back to
Jane St. for the street fair where K. bought a killer lime green
purse.



A quick stop at the English Everything Shop around the corner

so T. could pick up some Bird's Custard which makes
wonderful trifle.
T. is off the the airport and we take the bus to 5th and

then up to 53rd and walk to Lexington. Behold- a wonderful

park that I didn't know about. Paley Park, a privately

owned park in the middle of Manhattan built on the former site of the Stork Club.

Waterfalls, food

tables and more waterfalls. We had just eaten or we

would have had lunch there. That didn't stop us from

munching "many" of the samples that the cute little gal

from next door was handing out.



Then up to the Cloisters for a great medieval afternoon.


Not a bad step day---14,463
