We’ve been getting through our itinerary at quite a rate, so we took a break this morning, and didn’t get out of the hotel til about half ten, when we headed for the USS Intrepid. It’s apparently the fourth US navy ship to carry that name - a decommissioned aircraft carrier. There’s also an ex-BA Concorde, and USS Growler - a submarine. Plenty of US propaganda, but also lots of general aircraft’y things - including one or two you could climb into =)
After lunch there, we headed to Macy’s for a brief (fruitless) shopping trip, and then on to the American Museum of Natural History. That was fun indeed, but tiring! Plenty of dinosaur skeletons, and exhibits of anthropology of most of the continents (Europe was noticeable by its absence, but what can you do? =))
Central Park was a nice cool wander, although we were definitely flagging by then, and we were glad to get to our final destination, the Guggenheim Museum. It really does look like the old multistory carpark in Dublin Airport! A bus from there brought us back to the hotel, to freshen up - now it’s time to head out to Carnegie Hall =) Yay!
Hi Darling,
Hope Carnegie Hall is fantastic. All in all you have covered a lot of ground, fancy living in NY?
Dad has found Southerly, they are in repairs and hopeful of getting away on Sat. 6 crew, including two lads with adhd! Pat says they never stop talking! There will be three watches and they are sailing for Dingle bay, I may yet have a long drive!!But that will be some time yet.
Rosie and Eoin are doing something creative in the kitchen, we may have to delay my dinner out, lack of funds (it was to have been Eoin’s treat and he’s just a bit broke at present!)
Lots of Love from us allXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxx
