Mhmmm!

I can’t even explain how easily how it all came back! The focus on a distant spot to get from point A to point B. We used to refer to ourselves as escalator people, just straight movement barely moving just flowing from space to space. Although now, I have become my husband and like Crocodile Dundee, talking to everyone, getting their story and engaging in conversations! I learned names and stories and first hand accounts of historical moments! I have laughed so much with people I barely knew. I felt no fear, truly an awesome adventure this week!

New York is iconic, that is the difference! Everywhere you look is related to a show or movie in your life. I was insanely excited at everything! I saw where Elf had his snowball fight, where Spider-Man broke up with his girlfriend, a scene from 27 Dresses, from Friends and Sex and the City! Some real sad things as well, 9\11, John Lennon’s assassination and many scandals involving actors and even the mob!! All of it was so riveting! I found the people willing to share, only a few aggressors! Even saw someone punch a car!

I will go back, the food, the people, the sights were beyond what I expected! I don’t know how many miles I put on my feet, but at one point we sat on a bench and questioned the pace we were trying to get all the things done. Can’t enjoy when you are spinning through! A cabby told us of a fare he had the day before that flew in and had 7 hours to see everything. He drove them around for a huge price, seeing all the supposed key sights, we took a minute and then took our time.

I will go back, without a vehicle, armed with subway knowledge and another list of things to see! Off season all the way! I do ❤️NY!
