...and she's back in humid FL.
I had a great, but tiring time.
Sandra, THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your humor and friends with me. Heidi is a hoot! Just watched her Pedibike Youtube with Conan O'Brien. I'm working on your family heraldry crest which will include towels in one quadrant.
Erin, I'm SO SORRY that I whussed out on dinner and the chance to meet you. I was just so very tired. One of my goals for this trip was to walk A LOT and my pedometer clocked out at ~95,000 steps. That's approx. 43 miles over four days with my short legs. I went back to the hotel each night and soaked my back and legs to get ready for the next day.
One night I actually had a serious discussion with myself about being in one of the most exciting cities in the US and how I should get out there in the nightlife. The feather pillow won that argument.
By the way, I'm not actually that tall...I'm long-waisted, but God compensated for that by giving me stumpty legs. My internal body clock was stuck on the 4-5:00 AM "Wake UP, MARILYN!" the entire time. One morning I refused to look at the clock and went to the window to see if I could figure out what time it was. My midtown hotel view faced TALL buildings and so I bent and bent and tilted my neck and finally did a Exorcist head spin and STILL couldn't see the sky. One morning I forced myself to wait until 6:00 AM to cross the street, grab a great cup of cheap coffee and start walking. Usually, it ended up at EssABagel "grab and walk." I had to FORCE myself NOT to carry home a loaf of chocolate babka.
