NY is cool!

Monday, September 17, 2007
We have been having so much fun that we couldn't take time to write. We have been meeting the flamenco community in NY and there is some good talent here! We feel very warmly received. I've been singing every night so my voice is all warmed up and furry sounding, just like I always wanted it to be.
In spite of all the fun, we are wondering whether we should move along because it is starting to get cool. It is 11AM and I am wearing levis and a long-sleeved shirt! We have blankets on the bed now. The days are in the low 70's and the nights get down to the high 50's. We haven't been so cool in a very long time. This is the farthest North that we have ever had the boat so far. Actually the climate is perfect, but we are very used to hot and humid. We are either going to run up to Cape Cod for a few days or just head down to the Chesapeake and spend a month exploring it until the cold forces back to our winter home in North Carolina. Stay tuned for further decisions.
Otherwise, we have been learning the bus and subway system. It really works well. It is cheap and easy to get around, so we go all over town every night. It is $2 per ride, but that includes transfers as well so it really means door to door transportation. It's nice to be able to get around without a car. When we get to NC, we will have to beg/borrow/steal a car.
Andi is off taking a yoga class right now, so I guess I'll work on some boat projects - like changing the oil on the genset.
Don't forget to write.
There are Canada Geese here (and in Carolina). I don't know whether they are passing through or full-time residents.
Here is Central Park.
Here is this goofy dog we passed in front of an antique shop. He doesn't bother to reel in his tongue and it look like a dried-up piece of felt.
