Today I met up with Jane Birman from the BIG APPLE GREETERS program. I had to get up really early and go down to Brooklyn (Court Street station) and stand at a bank… the bank she told me to stand at had closed down and was no longer in use… so I stood at the wrong bank!!!

Nevertheless… eventually we found eachother and she took me around Brooklyn Heights and showed me around the Brooklyn Promenade. It is a fantastic area… and the view of Manhatten is very picturesque. We left their and made our way to the south of manhatten… and saw the Coney Island area… and walked along the promenade. From their, we went to the Russian shops that line the subway lines. Some of them are really interresting.

As I sit here, there is a poor little irish lady trying to explain something to someone on the phone… but her accent is very thick and she can’t get her point accross. Poor thing.

… after leaving the Brooklyn area… I made my way up to the Staten Island Ferry… but given the time span… I decided against going on the ferry, and made my way back to the hotel… but stopped at a wonderful little market… kind of like a flea market thing and found some wonderful things to take back to South Africa. So that was quite good. I left the market and went to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked accross that. It is a fantastic piece of architecture… and I am glad I got to see that.

Left the bridge and hopped onto the subway and walked around the area that my hotel is in. Hardly spent any money today, but got five ties…. for bargain prices.

Tomorrow should be more entertaining I think….

Good… that poor Irish lady is still trying to spell Ireland to someone on the phone…

Moondrops and sunshine…
