Our beach combing was fabulous. Warm tidepools. Sea Stars, Brittle Stars, Sea Anemones, Crabs galore, Barnacles, Muscles, Oysters, Hermit Crabs, Scallops, Minnows, and all manner of gloriously coloured rocks. My Sweetheart chasing the dog with a starfish. "Brodie! What's in the bucket?" … I wasn't fast enough to get the photo of the starfish on his [...] After the gorgeousness of tripping around New York City, and through the gardens of Eden, and visiting the Amish and our family, we touched down at home for a night. I can’t believe we didn’t take photos of our nomadic, house-sitting family, the Canfield’s! When we got home in the late afternoon, they were putting the finishing [...] For the next segment of our trip, we will pull the curtain and keep some of the pictures private. First, there are the pictures of our dear Pamum’s ashes in the beautiful stainless steel box fashioned by my brother-in-law – and the burial of the same in a beautiful cemetery near her home. The headstone was carved [...] Many of you will have missed the spelling error and think that I’m going to give you a little something offensive and sexual. Nope. Perish the thought! I’m a school teacher … well, not like the unfortunate man teaching at St. George’s (from which my son graduated a decade ago) who is charged with the distribution [...] “CLICK ON THE TITLE TO GET THE PHOTOS & THE REST OF THE POST!” There is a fair-sized Amish community in Upstate New York – outside of Buffalo. With a lovely sense of irony rather than any intention to culture shock our systems into cardiac arrest my friend took us to visit the Amish less than 24 hours [...] “CLICK ON THE TITLE TO GET THE PHOTOS & THE REST OF THE POST!” We spent $7 and took a cab from our hotel to Penn Station where we sat in un-air-conditioned comfort by a giant fan plugged into the wall. The free wi-fi made up for any inconvenience. We were a little apprehensive because we hadn’t done [...] “CLICK ON THE TITLE TO GET THE PHOTOS & THE REST OF THE POST!” The symbolic start of the gay rights movement! We saw the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village which is credited as the symbolic beginning of the very out, very loud gay rights voice. There had been activists prior to the the Stonewall Inn riots in [...] “CLICK ON THE TITLE TO GET THE PHOTOS & THE REST OF THE POST!” NYC was clean. We never felt unsafe … well, the subway elevator we were on was scary – but that was based on the age of the elevator not any actual danger. But, many things are old and even the cleaned up Harlem [...] Why are all the rooms in Billy Joel’s apartment curved? Does the entranceway to Yoko Ono’s apartment, where John Lennon was shot, feel different than just passing another apartment? (Yes.) More about being a tourist and getting the skinny on NYC. [...] “CLICK ON THE TITLE TO GET THE PHOTOS & THE REST OF THE POST!” Yummy waffle in Central Park cafe Sheep Meadow – no sheep, only quiet people allowed (after 11:00 a.m.) Where am I? Wasn't I just here? Lookin' @ the map. Walking around the jogging track while eating a Haagen Dazs bar. A plaza [...] |
