On Monday Maria and I went uptown to 110th St. The furthest uptown I’ve been so far. We went because Maria found the only Hungarian Pastry Shop in NY in the yellow pages. It was opposite the church of ST. John the Divine, the biggest church I’ve ever seen. They’ve been building it for about 100 years and it’s still not finished. They’re working on the tower at the moment.
The pastry shop was interesting, Maria says it reminds her of Hungary, even the way it looks is reminiscent of Hungary. All I know is the cakes were lovely.
We have been spending some time up on the roof, the weather is lovely and Maria is working on her tan and her bears at the same time, I just admire the view, it’s lovely. She’s managed to finish 2 more bears. I don’t know if we’ll manage to beat the total from last time, she’s running very low on stuffing.
John has been watching boats again, he was thrilled on Monday, three big boats left that evening, he managed to catch 2 of them.
Today was Maria’s art day and we spent most of it outdoors, drawing, painting and working on our tan. So no work on bears.
Claire arrives on Friday so I don’t think Maria will get much work done after that.
