Quiet bookish day... wandered around the Museum of Modern Art which was spectacular, then went to the Public Library where I skimread three books. Had dinner, went to bed early. Feeling a bit down...
I probably haven't described New York enough. It has an aroma - an aroma of sweat... and exotic countries ... and dope... It's busy busy busy... bustle is the word I guess. It is diverse but I feel the various races largely keep to themselves and do their own things. Lisa said to me the various races keep to their own and this is true in so far as I can see. Perhaps that is why the mosque issue seems such a hot button issue - no-one really understands the other races, despite the optimism that surrounded the election of the first African-American President.
It costs an arm and a leg to be here but I will be sorry to leave anyway. There are so many more things I would like to do. I had a visit to Coney and Staten Islands on my list. More moving outside Manhattan generally I guess. Still it has been a busy time and I feel like I've made a reasonable use of my time.
But I am bit down tonight... not sure why... sorry it's a bit short today but there it is...
