We got the cycles out for the first time since leaving Nantucket and as the
east coast is so flat we will get some good use out of them. Our neighbour,
Ozzie, tells me that when we leave NY through the Verrazano Narrows bridge the
hill on our right is the last one – no more and of course none in Florida.
We had a list of places we wanted to see (we met Tomas & Kirstie on the
Ferry again) and went back through the Meat Packers District, into Chelsea
Market, where Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen & Diane von Furstenbrook,
to name a few all have stores. Then it was up onto the High Line for a walk
along an old converted rail track with gardens above the street level, then
cycling back down through Greenwich village to our ferry.
The only time we stopped was for a great lunch at Moran’s alongside the
High Line and twice in the Apple Store on 14th and 9th Ave. Suzanne was
definitely on a mission with phrases such as “Wouldn’t you like an I-Pad”, Umm
not really, “I’ll buy one for you” Um not really “You could use it for work and
they can pay for it” Hmm Yea I don’t think I’ll get that past Accounts “It would
be good cos I would like to try one” Hmm maybe “We could get one to share” Aahh
- now I see...
So eventually I twigged that Suzanne would like an I-Pad – so I said “Why
don’t we go back get a girlie white one with an orange cover and not too much
memory (cos it’s just for emails and Facebook)” Hence the second visit and now
she is a happy little fluffy bunny, except now she spends more time fiddling
with her I-Pad than she does fiddling with me.
