So much to see, so many wonderful people as we travel through towns and cities. As I think back the last couple weeks there are some special moments, Halloween 🎃 in Eastman Quebec was fantastic, Small town friendly. Hard to explain here, the feeling as we watched and were welcomed by all there was amazing. Such a great memory. Having friends there to visit with, gave us again a great stop. Catherine & River always be friends.
Boston next was also very interesting, big city, yet met people in restaurants and on the bus, even as we toured the ship's, people that are so friendly, and many very helpful, especially when we took a picture of the place where we left our truck parked, so we would remember, then our phones died!,😳 ahhh...
The guy that helped, he was a pedi ride worker, he helped us by having a phone charger, that saved us! Likely wed still be looking for our truck if he hadn't helped us.
Now on to New York, and same, people friendly, helpful, good people. Yesterday we met a woman as we sat outside the bakery we got a sandwich and a coffee ☕ at, she lived across the street. In our conversation we found out the election was today, all the time I'd thought was Wednesday. We talked about how her neighborhood was in the 80's, when John Lennon was killed close here, she said him and Yoko would Walk early morning, as the people here would leave them alone, nobody asking for autograph, or bothering them then.
She remembers the day, the date, she remembers seeing all the people at the park in a vigil, crying. She's been in the neighborhood for many years, and was not a good neighborhood years ago, she said. Was hooker's pimps, and crime, but they left us alone, didn't feel unsafe. Now she said, we have to worry about crazy stuff, people come into a restaurant and shove a 93year old woman off her seat onto the floor. He had done this many times before, took him to jail, and the social Justice group bailed him out once again. He'll do it again and again, no justice anymore she said.
I understand what she was saying, but then she started on politics, that's when Polly grabbed my arm said, we gotta go!
No use getting into that here, she's Right 👍
Still she was a nice woman, and scared to go out of her house now. Not how we believe it should be, but there it is.
When we were planning coming to USA, many asked are you going to be there during the election? You know I never really thought of it as a problem, but many did. I still don't think it's a problem, just another day in USA. Crazy is here every day,I won't let that get in our way, things to do, places to see, people to meet! 😁
Today our leg's are sore, not sure where we'll go right now, Polly still sleeping, but I hear her stirring now. I'm on coffee ☕ 1 now, after coffee 2, maybe I'll have a little more stamina.
Our campground we are in we have stayed in before, is really nice for close to the city. Train is very close, so a short 5 minute drive, park, get a ticket for our parking, and a ticket to get into the city, and we're off. See what fun we can have today. Central Park was really nice yesterday.
We both love this life ❤️ even when sore legs 😂🤣
