If it's Wednesday, it must be August: Osage County

Jeff and I were tired so we slept in a bit and then headed to 5th Avenue and Rockefeller Center. We had planned to meet Chris's Mom, Louise who is a window designer/dresser for Faccionable, which is in the heart of the upscale trendy area. Jeff and I wandered around Rockefeller Center and I loved seeing where the Today is filmed. You know all those groupies that hang out there during the Today show? I might just be there Friday morning! or maybe not...we are going with the wind these days.

The Rockefeller Center buildings are just beautiful. We wandered inside so that Jeff could check the directory. He just cannot fathom how many businesses are occupying these skyscrapers. When we went inside, we were amazed about the beauty of the buildings. Gold and black, art deco or art nouveau styles, rich and elegant, timeless...

We wandered about...exploring...This city is filled with tulips, daffofills, hyacinths, and other spring flowers. We then met Louise Lund for a nice lunch. Although I have met her before, she had not met Jeff and so they enjoyed their time together.

We then walked about a mile down 5th Avenue checking out the shops as well as the fantastic buildings...St. Patrick's cathedral is almost shadowed by the large skyscrapers yet its Gothic arches stand tall and stately. Beautiful!. We walked through Trump towers and found a few geocaches in these "pocket parks" sandwiched between skyscrapers.

One of these parks had a large section of the Berlin Wall, which is interesting since we just saw a section at the Reagan Presidential Library a few weeks ago.


We crossed the street to check out the great windows at Bergdorf Goodwin at the same time that a motorcade with all the flashing lights, machine guns, and security agents went screaming around the corner...we still don't know who is was though. Maybe Nelson Mandela????


Central part was lovely...the trees are all in bloom and glorious...and we managed to find a few caches there as well. We only covered the lower quarter of the part but did see Strawberry Fields as well as the momument to John Lennon near the area where he was killed. There were flowers strewn everywhere and many people were gathering there. It is one of the most visited places in Central Park.

Then tonight Jeff headed to the Mets game and Mane and I went to dinner and then to 45th street to see the Pulitzer prize winning play August: Osage County. After last night's performance, this one paled in comparison and I felt so tired afterward, so Mane and I skipped thepost production discussion and headed home.

Tomorrow...destination Ellis Island.
