greg and i traipsed out into the rainy day to see his high school friend who was in town. we were meeting her at chelsea piers as they were docking there after a boat cruise.
all the goldenrod!
on the left is the boat they were on (a beautiful boat called the "full moon").
we walked through the drizzle to la bergamot for a coffee and a pastry.
it was nice to catch up on how she and her daughters were doing (she has a new granddaughter only a few months old). (unfortunately, we were getting dripped on by sitting under the scaffolding - not torrentially, but enough that peggy had to keep moving her chair out of the way. we hadn't sat inside because they had the air conditioning on and it was cold, but of course by the time we left they had turned it off and the cafe was wonderfully warm when i went inside to pay the bill . . oh well.)
reviewing directions back to her hotel . .
we walked with her along 23rd to 7th avenue and then said our good-byes. she'll be flying back to warm and sunny florida . . well, maybe the sun will come out here too.
i was not dressed warm enough for this wet and chilly day and was so glad to get home again.
