The debut walking tour for
Off the Beaten (Subway) Track was a smashing success! It was organized by the
New York City Transit Museum, and all 30 slots sold out. The motley crew of explorers journeyed with me to the Socrates Sculpture Park, past a dental studio that displays weird dentures in its window, into the Cathedral of St. Demetrios to see the saint's ankle bone, through the Louis Armstrong House Museum, and onto the Queens Museum of Art. In between, we stopped at the Euro Market, at a pizza place, and at the Lemon King of Corona for refreshments. (The tour was blurbed in
Time Out New York, too!!!)
Husband took many photos, including this one of me proudly leading the troops across the street:
I wore a ridiculous wide brimmed hat with a big red flower on it so that people could spot my short head in a crowd:
Plus my hat kept the sun off my ghostly face during the 88 degree day. It's the same hat I wore throughout my
trip to India two years ago. I bought it when I was in high school, thinking it was the height of style. Now it is my touring hat. I still believe it is the epitome of fashion.
You get cooler and cooler. I am so proud to call you a friend.
ReplyDeleteFrom the picture , you look great in a the hat. Not everyone looks good in hats ( self included ).
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day there, Here we had much neede rain both days.
From the 30 feet between you and the group, it appears you could have used more deodorant. Just kidding.
