New York has been much more challenging proof I am not really a traveller.. I cannot really say why as nothing untoward has happened here it just feels overwhelmingly busy at times, the hostel is not as nice . Like in Thailand the huge buildings weigh me down, yet I loved it when I came here over 40 years ago. Then I did most of the things I wanted to do and should do in Manhattan including going to Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, Radio City waking up on Long Island .. guest of woman on plane and guest in a brownstone guest of man met on train. It was an adventure.. now at times it has been an assault on the senses. Is that old age or just having less energy.
But there has been lots they has been good about it and today I did exactly what I wanted to do.. visit the High Line where there was an exhibition on climate change and Chelsea market. With the help of staff I got a metro ticket and back to the hostel in the evening and some great bonuses...the gardens along the Hudson, Washington square. The 9/11 memorial and even part of the Smithsonian on the indigenous population. I wanted to buy up almost everything in the Museum shop but was feeling so rough I only rushed around but good precursor to what I hope to see I Washington
I am sorry not to have done anything other than pass thru the key outer edges or get to Harlem which I am very close to here but reaching energy limits and for the next few days will be travelling with friends. No word from the one person I very very very vaguely knew of, which is a shame, but glad to have revisited. And still having problems uploading stuff onto this site.
