a sunday in new york city

this needle and thread in the fashion district must
be the world's largest. Look how small
the worker sewing is.

 

Yesterday was the crew meeting for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. Sharon signed up for crew, so we went. The original plan was for Bonnie and I to go along and we'd walk, while she met. Beth had also signed up for crew, so Sharon would have company also.

Earlier in the week the plan fell apart. Bonnie decided not to go since she's leaving for vacation Friday. Beth dropped out of crew for personal reasons. It ended up Sharon and I on a Bieber bus in the rain.

We arrived about 9:45 and walked up to GSUSA headquarters on 5th Avenue. That's where the meeting was. Sharon checked in and we realized that the meeting was 11:45, not 11, so I made Sharon walk more. It wasn't hard walking. We looked in stores, but we kept moving.

Did mention it was raining? As the day progressed the rain got worse.

I dropped Sharon off safely at GSUSA and started to walk. I looked in store windows. I was easily distracted. I went down one street to 9th Avenue went across and came back up the next street to Lex or Madison. At one point it rained hard and I went into the NY Public Library. Okay, that was a mistake. Should have went into a department store. Someplace less tempting.

Then I went down 5th to Macy's and rode the wooden escaladors, and came back Broadway.

I made a couple calls from Bryant Park, but no one was home. I was getting really bored walking alone. Even in NYC.

So I headed to the GS office and waited in the lobby for Sharon. She came out at 4 pm. Sharp.

I have no idea how far I walked. But I slept well last night.
