I had one egg and bacon on white bread for breakfast, and washed it down with a delicious Mountain Dew. That was probably a mistake.
We did a lot more walking and shopping today. The city was warmer and busier than yesterday but we were older and tireder so events progressed slower.
The above is a mosaic in Saint Patrick’s. The cathedral flaunts unimaginable wealth but at the same time is fascinating and beautiful. I just wish they weren’t so blatant asking for endless donations.
In a loo at the Rockefeller Center a man in a stall was talking loud enough for everyone to hear: “System I contributed my own life but you gave me nothing in return. System why have you abandoned me?” He went on and on, always saying ‘System’ and not ‘The system’. I think he may have been insane.
The fossil/gem shop on 5th Avenue never ceases to amaze, but this T-Rex leg-bone displayed in their window surely can only be purchased by a microscopic few? I didn’t go in to see the price, but I’m sure it’s well into six figures.
We visited a bead shop with an absolutely insane selection. They have thousands of little trays and bags holding every imaginable glass or porcelain or metal bead as well as all sorts of hardware and tools. It was mesmerizing and hard to control ourselves since so many of the beads were very pretty. (KLS used to make jewelry with beads, but most of what we bought today will be sent to SFL.)
I bought that shirt 6.5 years ago at a Kmart in Tuncurry when I went with Sue. I’ve worn and washed it hundreds of times and the print hasn’t deteriorated even by a single atom! It remains as comfortable as the day I bought it, and I will forever regret not also buying the Donkey Kong shirt I saw at the same time.
