Brooklyn Bridge 20 October 2024
I walked back to Brooklyn Bridge and joined the crowds walking across to Manhattan. I had wanted to do that 4 weeks ago, but I couldn’t find the starting point to get from Manhattan. So I was very happy that I had the opportunity today to do it.
The views are truly spectacular and I got to see the Statue of Liberty once again. Also it had helped to burn off the pizza I ate earlier and I’ll have room for my cannoli which I’ll probably eat in be airport.
I got back to my Airbnb ahead of schedule, booked Uber and left with a couple of minutes for the chaotic JFK Airport. And it was fun & games waiting to get through the queue for immigration and security.
I still have 2 hours before flight departs, which is fine. I am still too full to eat the cannoli, although I did have a small bite. It’s big and not like the little cannolis I have tried back home. I’ll see if I’ll have it later on the flight.
I’ve done almost 14,300 steps so far. Hopefully that’s enough to tire me a little to sleep on the plane.
It’s been an amazing trip. I have been with wonderful friends, seen some amazingly beautiful sites and enjoyed some delicious food. I haven’t had a chance to work out the mileage I have clocked up - it will be an interesting task to do I’m sure.

New York City Pastrami Sandwich 19 October 2024

I had sourced a deli called Sarge’s Deli for the best pastrami sandwich in New York. I was going to take the subway, but as it involved a change of trains, I thought I’d walk it. I walked through some familiar places I’d seen nearly 4 weeks ago and it was rather nice to see some of the skyscrapers again. I must have misread the distance because it seemed never-ending. All the same, I did work u...

I picked up a coffee from Dunkin Donut as I came out of the station and sat on the park bench soaking in the sun and watching people go by.

We spent a little time chatting before going to bed. The next morning, M...

The flight out of Mobile was delayed an hour due to technical issues so I missed my connecting flight in Atlanta and was rebooked on a later flight leaving 2 hours later.

Initially as we began to takeoff again, I began to wonder if there was a fault with the aircraft. As the...

I went out on the balcony to catch the lighting up of the horizon just after 6 and I felt the cold for the first time. I then went out towards the bay to catch the sunrise just before 7 am. It was spectacular. We had quiche a...

City Park Greg took us to City Park where he jogs most mornings. It is a park filled with live oak trees. The Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana), also known simply as the live oak or evergreen oak, gets its name from the fact that, unlike other oaks, it doesn't lose its leaves in the autumn. City Park is a 1,300 acre public park in New Orleans and about 50% larger than Central Park in New Y...

    God bless you sister Sheila. I saw your comment on Dr .Mohammads video. That's beautiful. Give it all to Jesus. Amen. I invite you to my channel, to watch "Endtime message" on my playlist, a message God gave to me in 1994, about the coming "disclosure event", also being the "strong delusion" that God allows. Many are martyred, and many shall remain unto the coming of the Lord, to be "caught away", soon after the two witnesses ascend. Tik Tok, time is short for the tares, but the wheat has time eternal in Jesus name. Much love and blessings. My comments are usually banned, and my videos don't get "shared" so I reach out to little channel, real people.
