A little of NYC

I love exploring on foot because it gives you the time to really see the world around you.  For example this bike - which belonged to someone on the same street as Natalie.  I would be fun to have some company.

This puppy is hard at work soaking up the sun and guarding the door.

I'm not sure why this caught my attention, but the wires continued up the side of the building.  It seems a little crazy that the cable guy can just poke holes in the building wherever a new jack is required, and with a motivation only focused on running new wires ... there is a beauty and also an element of chaos that bugs me. (look closely and you can see Jax fetching the ball)

This is Jax - like me he was also visiting for the week and was our companion on many walks.

 

The subway was a highlight ... it seems a little odd to actually say that.  Natalie likes to play a game of trying to spot rats and we did see one.  A tiny gray mouse, various musicians and one screaming child were also in attendance.  I was happy to experience a (short) period of the train being delayed between stops without lights, only one navigation mistake, and a couple of young kids that reminded me of my son.

To Natalie's distress I was often humming for whistling the MC Frontalot song.

 

Central park was huge, wonderful, full of people, full of weddings, and containing more rocks then I would have guessed.  I'm curious if the park stabilized the local property values because I know I would love to live or work next to it.

 

NYC and I aren't done with each other yet...
