We Meet Again Tour – 4 June 2018
A meeting with the pastor and a representative of the Mission Outreach Committee of Riverdale Presbyterian Church took the tour to the Greek Express restaurant for greatĀ conversation and a good lunch.
An octopus was discovered lurking in the restroom.
Purple octopuses, not flowers, New York Aquarium
Spotted these in the gift shop
and had to take their photo.
Perhaps they haveĀ a garden.

Explorations
Tricia arrived in New York today for a variety of work-related events. They start tomorrow. This was a day to explore.
While waiting for her, I made my way to the dry cleaner and managed to figure out a way to identify which key opens which lock.
When she arrived, we walked to lunch at Ajanta – good stuff, definitely a place to return.
An effort to visit Riverside Park failed when the entrance that we selected was closed. We did see the Hudson from a distance and New Jersey from an even greater distance.
Our explorations then took us north to visit Fairway Market. Quite an experience – even though they exploit octopi.
While wandering, we connected with a friend of Tricia’s brother. He was doing a music show at the Atria Senior Living Community. We went and checked that out. He took us to dinner at Hampton Chutney – we ate dosa (light crispy, sour-dough crepe made from rice) for the first time. Another keeper.
The evening was gorgeous so we walked up Broadway from 83rd to La Salle.
Oh yeah, I bought a large screen LCD TV in there too.
A good day. With 22,217 steps – even though I did not get to the gym.
See you along the Trail.
