....so good they named it twice. I used to live there and haven't been back for......way too long. It was cold....
and wet......
and snowed.......
and emotional. At one point, halfway across Central Park, in a blizzard I would have cried except my eyes were too busy being stabbed by the icey snow. As I slid over into a drift, snow blind and searching for the out, I thought I might just disappear, only to be found in the thaw, just by the exit. Like Scott, so close....but not close enough...Then my friend's flight was diverted to Boston and so the great nostalgia fest we had planned was scuppered. And the High line....the only thing I wanted to go on....was closed due to...snow and ice.
So I went to the diner.....
and the sun came out....
and the High Line opened and it was ....a perfect day!!
Top tip: it is better to travel with your thermals then never to travel at all.....
Yes, travelling is the perefect way to know ourselves.I would like to be there...lucky you!
ReplyDeleteExcellent travel tip!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're having fun and that the sun came out for you.
Gorgeous skies, so blue! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe High Line is on my must see list too. It looks fun even in the snow!
ReplyDeleteOh, and that is a diner spread after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteThat's New York for ya. It makes you work so hard to love it there. But then it is totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteThe Highline, I've been fascinated by it since it opened. Glad that at least part of your holiday was good!
ReplyDeleteI found the High Line very interesting, not least because of the art works. I suppose these change every now and then. I think if I had seen all that snow and ice I'd h ave turned round and gone home though!
ReplyDeleteThe trip looked fun. Perhaps the snow provides an excuse to go back in the spring!
ReplyDeleteNew York never disappoints! I'm glad things worked out in the end.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you finally got to the High Line but sad you never caught up with your friend.
ReplyDeleteIt was QUITE the winter!
so glad I got to meet you!
Looks a terrific trip
ReplyDeleteThe high line is on my to do list, but when the flowers are out! xx
ReplyDeleteI Love New York!
ReplyDeleteGlad the sun finally came out for you. Isn't the High Line fabulous!
Great tip and I'm so happy you got some sunshine. xoxo
