New York


New York was really amazing... I'd never been. I found it to be so contradictory. Like this beautiful tile "14" above... it's in the subway at 14th street. There were markers at every stop (LOTS of markers, not just one be at least 2 dozen on each side!) and they would be these incredibly intricate signs, beautiful signs, and all around it would be pretty gross... although I must say I liked the subways; I like how you can go anywhere- I liked the smell of the steam and tar - it reminded me very much of the smell when you go through the railway tunnel to view the "Prehistoric Land" at Disneyland... you know, the one where that dinosaur has been chewing the same 'cud' for so long?? It smells just like that... there weren't any crazy people or "OTHER SMELLS"... if you catch my drift!! :o)

Here's Tom as we're dining in Little Italy at his cousin Anthony's restaurant. What a GREAT place, Little Italy!! All the streets were just like that scene from The Godfather where they have that festival with the parade and Robert DiNiro has just shot the important guy in the white suit...
it's just like that!

Here we are with our "Tustin News" to submit to the newspaper, on the Staten Island Ferry.
way too much going on right now to post, but i'll add more later...
