washington square arch
i'm writing again a day late.
we continue to have clear and sunny skies . . 80 degrees . . today the humidity is supposed to go up to 83%. the equinox is wednesday and summer has a strong hold.
morgana and i walked chanda to her ballet class yesterday . .
sixth avenue looking south . . the sun is hot!
looking north . .
actually, we walked her to a private class with her ballet teacher, after which morgana would join her and they would go together to a modern dance class.
morgana and i then walked together to washington mews . .
sand between the cobblestones (usually it's cement) . .
morgana wanted to show me deutsches haus, home of her new german class. it's part of new york university and she'll be taking classes there thursday nights. she was unhappy with her B2 class, and has decided to switch to C1. today she needed to get her new textbook.
a beautiful crabapple tree in the courtyard . .
the interior is an open and airy space with two floors. maybe i'll get to attend a function or two there with her. she just wants to speak german with everyone, but she's also very critical of everyone's speech (no one pronounces their words correctly though they work in the german department . . she just needs a bunch of german and austrian expats to hang out with . . ) hopefully, she'll find the other C1 students more proficient with the language . . and the class more stimulating.
we had some time before chanda finished so i took her to cafe nadery for saffron ice cream and provence tea (rooibos tea with rose petals and lavender, and red and black currants). it was deliciously persian.
fifth avenue looking north, with washington square arch at my back . . i said good-bye to them and went to health and harmony, my local health food store, for some groceries.
