It's been a couple of interesting days of sight-seeing; starting with Sunday, with Jeffery, and finishing with today. It's interesting to me how every day is a little different. Today, all the volunteers were working on Park clean-up and planting. The subways were empty compared to tourist-filled weekends or early-day commuters. The trees and flowers are springing up and out, and work projects are in evidence everywhere.
I haven't done the Museums, because the whole City is a big museum; or a festival. I've even become very nimble and able when it comes to crossing streets; getting through crowds; and hopping onto my beloved subway. Having TIME to discover New York City makes it much less stressful that a quick visit without knowing the ropes. I feel like an "old hand".
