nyc

Such a challenging place! I think I would be slightly more at peace with its peculiarities if the b&b Ed and I are in had reliable internet. In the absence of that, we are left to muse (gripe?) about what it is that we do and don't like about the city.

I'll get back to that topic, for sure. For now, enjoy, as I did, the approach to the New York on a bright bright autumn day.

    I always find that first glimpse of a city rather exciting -- so full of promise. The view of New Your City from an airplane on final approach is one of my favorites. But my most favorite approach to a city happened over 40 years ago on a road trip from Detroit to Los Angeles. It had been a long but fun day driving West through New Mexico toward Albuquerque on old Route 66 in my bright red 1967 Porsche 911S, top down, wind blowing, enjoying the uphill mountain road, turn by turn, mile by mile, just savoring the joy of driving a great car on a twisty road. It had been dark for about an hour, just after cresting the top of the mountain a sweeping turn suddenly revealed glittering bejeweled Albuquerque spread out below. It was heart-achingly beautiful and I found a spot to pull over, stop and look down on that unexpected view -- like hundreds of diamonds strewn on black velvet.

    Thanks for inspiring a favorite memory.
    Have a great time in NYC!
