We came back from Boston by Greyhound bus. The service was excellent and whilst we did
not see a great deal of the countryside, it was fast, cheap and efficient.
We returned to the same apartment where we had been a
week earlier to find our bags waiting for us.
We spent the afternoon down at the Hudson River Park as
we are only 1 apartment block from the riverside walk. It was buzzing with activity on the Sunday
afternoon – walkers, joggers and cyclists along with restaurants, wild life,
dogs all adjacent to marinas and shipping.
Today with the threat of rain, we changed our plans to
visit museums. Our 1st visit
was to the Guggenheim where we found the building more fascinating than the
art. We had very high expectations but
found the collection not quite to our taste.
We strolled through Central Park, past the main lake down
to the Museum of the City of New York.
This There was an interesting
exhibition “A Beautiful Way to Go” focusing on the people who are interred in
New York’s Green Wood Cemetery. It
featured not just the people but their contributions to the world. Among those
were the Steinway family of piano fame, Samuel Morse (Morse Code), Underwood,
the inventor of the typewriter and Leonard Bernstein.
