Day 50: ME IV

· Maine Event

Today was a day of connection, travel, Grand Central Station, busy subways, hotel, busy streets, dinner. It's a bit of a blurr. It was a little sad to leave P&P we had such a wonderful time in their country house. We took a commuter train into NYC – it was full even though it was Sunday. We got off at Grand Central Station which has been remade into its former glory. I hope this trend of refurbishing transit stations continues. They are real treasures. We took a different subway number 6 and walked a few blocks to the hotel. We had a lovely dinner and will head out of here early tomorrow.

Good Morning Brewster
Lichens and Moss
There was hoary frost on the grass and steaming as the sun hit the cold area and swimming pool cover.
Saying goodbye in the bright early afternoon sun. Dang, we will miss you guys!
Commuter rail
New York has the trees doing tricks too!
Milkweed that butterflies like going to seed! So lovely!
Harlem River
Terrible picture of the roof of Grand Central Station. It's just too much for my wee phone to capture
Another take.
On the way to Washington Square Hotel
View from the hotel!
What a fine city!
Skyline!

Good night to all have a sweet night.

Sending you oodles of ❤️,
