Friday, July 27-Day 12

Friday, July 27

We got to Harriman to catch the train in plenty of time. The ride is over an hour long with many stops. Secaucus seems to be very popular. We arrived at Hoboken and found our way to PATH. This is to take us over to NYC to 33rd st.

The first stop at Christian something or another didn't stop and I saw a lot of police officers. The train continued to 9th, 12th, 23rd and was supposed to go to 33rd, but they announced there was a problem and we all had to get off. Now we walk from 23rd and 6th to 28th and 7th.




Hoboken station
Empire State Building
We found Heavy Melody where we are to meet Mark after work at 6 PM. There was a Starbucks right next door so there was our coffee break. Since we have a couple of hours to fritter away, we headed towards Macy's. Walking another 6-7 blocks.

We rode all the escalators to the very top floor, bought a Macy's bags, and since my foot and knees were killing me, we had a drink. Then it was time to walk those same blocks back to Heavy Melody.

We were able to meet everyone and then headed to a pizza joint nearby for supper and off to Sunnyside, Queens. The problem with taking any subway in NYC is the steps. There are at least 30 down and then 35 up.

Sunnyside is cute. Mark's Apt is full. Once he was packed it was back across to 23rd and 6th to catch the PATH. We had trouble finding it and made a couple of wrong tries. MORE steps.


By the time we made it back to Harriman and our campground it must have been 11:30. Tomorrow is all ours.
