New York, New York...

After five days in Washington DC, we said farewell to our lovely new-found friends at IPP and hopped on the train to New York.  The train was quick & easy - I read & crocheted, and Ali puzzled... no surprise there then!

The last few times I've been to NYC have been shopping trips with my various sisters and cuzzies.
So as we'd done a whole bunch of shopping in DC (including 5 pairs of shoes and 60 puzzles **... whatever happened to the "Don't let me buy any more shoes/puzzles" mantra?!) and our suitcases were pretty much jam-packed, we decided to spend this trip doing some touristy things.


The High Line



Out & about in NYC

Central Park, the 9/11 Memorial & our NYC pad, The Benjamin
Top of the Rock(efeller Centre)
Brooklyn Bridge walk
We met up with the Tselentis' too which was such fun.  They were spending a few days in NYC en route from Harare, Zimbabwe to Austin, Texas so it was lovely to catch up and be together in the Big Apple.

Ok, so I will confess - we did do just a little bit more shopping... who could resist a wee flutter in Tiffany's and Purl Soho? Certainly not we Walkers ;-)


** You can read more about the a-massing of puzzles, on Ali's Puzzling Times blog here. And just for the record: 2 of the 5 pairs of shoes were for the Mr !
