Saturday morning was sunny and warm with much less humidity; so taking advantage of this fine day for walking.I took the subway to 33rd St to walk on NYC Summer Streets. Three Saturdays in August the city closes Park Avenue from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park–no cars, only walkers, runners and cyclists. It was pretty crowded but lovely to be able to walk in the middle of the street. I walked from 33rd to 45th then over to Sixth Ave to Kinokuniya, the Japanese bookstore, then back to Grand Central where I boarded a train for Bronxville.
Sybille picked me up at the station and we went to a wonderful art installation by Federico Uribe–Fantasy River–a re-creation of his childhood in Colombia made of shoelaces, tennis shoes, pingpong balls, old books, electrical wire and other unlikely items.
I loved the show.
Spent the rest of the afternoon and evening with Sybille and Howard, mostly looking at and talking about photographs.
The inventiveness of those critters brings a grin to my face. 🙂
Hi Line. The NYT has a June 9 article on the unfinished section of the Hi Line. I found it an interesting read. 🙂

Oh, what wonderfully inspiring creations. I’m so glad the weather is cooperating with your stay. I’m just sitting her grinning.
