Another ride through Harlem, the New Jersey Palisades, Staten Island and lower Manhattan.
As always, there were interesting sights on the Ferry:
New York is all about style, right? I was going to ask her where she got that bag, but I kind of lost her in the shuffle as we disembarked. However, I got another glimpse of her sack and realized I wouldn't be able to buy it:
You can't see the logo from her, but it's from a film festival in Germany.
In addition to style, New York has always been known for attracting dreamers:
With all due respect to Frank Sinatra, you can't have a city of dreamers if it's a city that never sleeps.
And, of course, everyone wants a home with a view. Along the way, I stopped at an open house. I didn't even bother to feign interest in buying the house (which I probably couldn't do, anyway) because, it seemed, everyone else had the same look of disattachment.
But wouldn't you just love a patio with a view like this?
Hey, it's even better as you get closer:
If you were to buy the house--in Bayonne, NJ--you wouldn't be able to access the water. It's fenced off about fifty meters from the shoreline: It's government land. Oh, who wouldn't want to take a dip in Newark Bay on a hot day?
The bike riding is pretty good, though, as long as you stay away from the main commercial strip. It's even better along Richmond Terrace in Staten Island: As you approach the Ferry, the sight of cranes and tank farms give way to harbor vistas of lower Manhattan.
