Well, I made it to New York, the Big Apple. My plane ride was uneventful, which is good, smooth with hardly any turbulence. Looking outside, it was very hazy & muggy, couldn't see more than a half mile ahead and warm, actually very warm for this time of the year. According to the weather forecast, The temperature will be in the mid 80's during the week. So, pretty much any chance of getting fall colors is not going to happen. So I will look address different avenues of photo opportunities.
This morning, I am sitting in a Starbucks drinking my coffee and watching the garbage men pick up garbage. It's so strange walking through the streets and seeing bags and bags of garbage, piled up near the curbs.
Let me tell you about my taxi ride to my daughters apartment. It may be a little hard to describe in words, but bear with me. The best way that I can describe it is actually letting you in my thought process during the ride. Here we go...After about a 20minute wait ,a young Jamaican picks me up and we're off. Again, this is my thought process. Nice cab, clean and not smelly. Has a nice ride feel to it, oops, there goes my head, jerking to the back, I guess we're picking speed. Looks like theirs a car up ahead that wants to get into our lane. Well, there goes my head again, I guess we're not going to let that car into our lane. Looks like we're coming up to an intersection and light has turned red, there goes my head, I guess there must be a 2 or 3 second grace period where drivers are permitted to enter through a red. OK, now we're out of the airport and on the expressway. It's 5:30 in the afternoon and there's a lot of traffic on the road, looks like we're going to be stuck in traffic, oops there goes my head, and my body goes sideways as we take a quick right to get off the expressway. The rest of the ride was pretty much as I described it. I also heard a lot of horn honking and and some yelling out of other cars, but my driver never honked or uttered a word. He maintained focus on the road and got me to my destination.
Today, I should go out and check out some of the sights. If I do, I will post pictures
