We woke to another beautiful day!  Vicki, Denice and I went to Englewood to pick up Ginger.  Ginger acted as navigator as she lived in NYC and knows it quite well.  The drive took us over the George Washington Bridge and down the Henry Hudson Parkway with the river, the cruise ships, the Intrepid and, of course, the site of The World Trade Center along the way.

We got to South Street Seaport, parked the car [a king's ransom] and headed over to the Fulton Market to see the Bodies Exhibition.  We spent nearly two hours in the exhibition and was it ever informative!  Also, we met and spoke with some nice folks.  If you've not seen the exhibition, I recommend it.

After the exhibition, we ate at this little outdoor cafe and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch.  I had a terrific shrimp and avocado salad - really tasty and very fresh.

That's Denice and me.  She had fish and chips and said it tasted really good and was nice and crispy.

Ginger and Vicki also had salads - Ginger had a Chicken Caesar and Vicki had a Greek Salad.  Thumbs up all around.

After lunch, we walked around and Vicki ran into Michael Bolton - okay, a poster of Michael Bolton.  We walked the Seaport and did a little people-watching [which is always good in NYC], and a little shopping - well, Ginger and Denice shopped.  Vicki and I kept our heads!

I have no idea what this building is, but I saw it and liked it.  The weather was wonderful and since it's Columbus Day, lots of folks were out and about.

After much fun, we headed back over the GWB and dropped Ginger at her home.  We stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home but didn't find anything we couldn't live without.

At home, Vicki made a wonderful omelet for us.  A young man [42] with whom Vicki worked, passed away and Vicki ran out to the wake this evening leaving Denice and me to our own devices.

Tomorrow, Denice goes back home to Little Egg Harbor.  Vicki and I are going to return a sweater I impulsively purchased without trying it on [NOT flattering at all], and then maybe a movie.  We'll be resting the remainder of the week and believe me, we need it.  We've certainly been going and blowing since I got here!

So, probably no new posts for a few days since we're going to be laying low.

Ciao for now!
