Firstly, I have not been slack , just aware that my priorities are spending time with my grand children rather than remembering what I have done.
On Saturday I moved to the cheap hotel in Chinatown wendy had booked for us for 3 nights then pottered around. Wendy and Co turned up mid afternoon after driving from Killing ton in Vermont. We went to a nearby Chinese restaurant at 5. 30, only just got in and the kids fair hair was definitely not the norm. LateR Wendy, Lach and I went to a performance of Handels Messiah at Carnegie Hall. It was absolutely wonderful.
Yesterday we walked to a cafe in Little Italy for a very late breakfast. Ground zero and the surrounding memorials was next on the agenda. Then wendy and her family had to finish their Christmas shopping. Century 21 is a huge store with lots and lots of racks closely packed with clothes, lots of people and lots of noise. Not my thing so I rapidly pealed off and found the cafe which turned out to be some comfyish chairs and vending machines. Very few other people. Later we went to Washington Square park to sing some carols then we found a Turkish place for dinner.
This morning, Christmas morning, we went to breakfast at a nice hotel that Wendy had booked then to a Christmas Service at Trinity church. Very old, huge, very full ie standing room only, ( we got there early enough to get a seat) , wonderful choir, soprano soaring above everyone, interesting slight differences in liturgy. When we left we had to walk through the area where they serve lunch to whoever wants it every day of the year.
I think next we are going on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, but I have yet to be told the details by our tour director, Wendy. I am enjoying doing what I am told.
