I am home now, but before I show you the Now, I have to finish the Then. I left off on Labor Day Weekend when Kyria was visiting, so that's where I'll pick back up......
 |
| The High Line begins. Formerly an elevated rail train, now it's a people's park for about a mile. |
 |
| Dad and daughter on the High Line |
 |
| I know I saw this last year, but I think there's more art on it now. I'll have to go back and look |
 |
| I may have shown you this last year, but the wall of buildings marching down the street is so awesomely big, I had to show it here. |
 |
| close-up of a building |
 |
| Jeffery and Kyria discuss building engineering |
 |
| this is why they wondered about engineering magic |
 |
| hey, it's Uncle Funky's |
 |
| side of building artwork |
 |
| advertising poster in a window |
 |
| One of my favorite sight-seeing destinations. Ghostbusters Firehouse! |
 |
| who you gonna call?? |
 |
| view through the window of the interior of the firehouse, which is a working firehouse |
 |
| Dad and daughter on the Brooklyn Promenade looking at Manhattan. See how long her hair has gotten? |
 |
| I want to do work like this in Tobin |
 |
| Jeffery and I treated ourselves and Kyria to another $2 ride on Jane's Carousel. It was Kyria's first time. |
 |
| We thought we would weather the thunderstorm while waiting in the Park for Kyria, but the storm turned downright nasty and we had to make a run for it. Thus, I played like a kid in the puddles, since I was wearing Tevas and was already soaked. |
 |
| the rains came down hard even after we'd found refuge under a door-entry cover. Meanwhile, Kyria was several blocks away, huddling under her own overhanging scaffolding. |
 |
| after the rain, I spotted a statue I hadn't seen before, of the Seventh Regiment |
 |
| beautiful tables! |
 |
| beverages |
 |
| Dad and daughter after a big meal |
 |
| The Queen was there. We saw him through the window |
 |
| one of the strangely repellant babies in a store-front display for children's wear |
 |
| Uncle Jack's Steakhouse! |
 |
| look up there!!! |
 |
| It's a castle atop a building |
 |
| another Rat sighting. |
 |
| Jeffery, Kyria and Riquia let me take them out to Monday breakfast, a treat not usually had, due to work hours |
 |
| Damn, I love the buildings in New York |
 |
| sign in the Comfort Diner, which Kyria, Jeffery and I visited again later, to get a milkshake |
 |
| tile floor in the Comfort Diner |
 |
| the signs in the Diner were all stranger than this! |
 |
| Okay, I wasn't going to put it in, cuz it's blurry, but I'll leave you with this photo of Kyria and her pig knuckle and beer |
Later on Monday, I took Kyria to the bus-stop, so she could head to the Newark Airport. What a great time with our daughter! Thanks for coming, K!
