Monday, so tidying up. Maria is really a creature of habit. I was getting a bit stir crazy by the afternoon and I think so was Maria. Another beautiful day so a walk along the Hudson semed a good idea. Maria got some flowers from Claire and Robert for Mother’s day but they were past their best so we thought we’d go up to the World Financial Center Florist and get some replacements.
The center houses the Winter Gardens, a superb glass covered atrium looking out onto a harbour on the Hudson.
Apparently in the summer you get some REALLY classy yachts tying up here.
The Winter Gardens are lovely, all the glass was broken in the attack of 9/11 but both the glass and the 24 tall palm trees were replaced in record time.
We’re hoping to go back on Wednesday to watch a free exhibition of Irish dancing (as a lead up to St. Patricks Day). They’re also teaching people to do Irish jigs etc. but I don’t think Maria will go for that.
