The baby hulk is how I felt about the weather today. Dreary and rainy.  But the journey must go on.

P3140307

I had a guest with me today! My friend Rachel was in town from Phoenix (actually heading back via JFK today) so we met up in Grand Central and spent a few hours together.  Rachel and I did an internet radio show together for 18 months called Soulfullpreneur.  We may do a few more episodes but we both needed a break from the pressure of doing a show weekly.

Chinatown mural.

P3140326

Longest beans I've ever seen.

P3140332

P3140339

We walked through a Chinese market in Chinatown. First time seeing Dragonfruit.

P3140340

I never thought about little kids learning to use chopsticks.  Adorable.

P3140341

Durian fruit.  I had to Google it because the staff could not tell us how to say what it was in English.

P3140342

P3140333

Twining.

P3140365

P3140344

 Welcome to Dreary Italy.

P3140357

Doggie of the day. Not friendly (owner was) but I had to get a pic of his booties.

P3140379

Destination of the day!  Mahayana Buddhist Temple.  Photo is not so great, raining and cars everywhere.

P3140389

P3140387

P3140395

P3140397 Edit Edit 2

Favorite image of the day.

P3140414

P3140417

P3140426

When we left the temple it was POURING.  Lucky us.

P3140432

Beautiful building as we headed up Canal in search of the Q subway train.

P3140435

Success!  We found the Q train and headed to Penn Station so that Rachel could make her way to JFK.

P3140438 Edit

First time to Penn Station.  It's no Grand Central.  There's a KMart there which kind of says it all.  ;)

P3140439

The guy in the blue t-shirt had to explain to us how the trains work.  It felt like you had to hit the lottery to find out what track your train is on.  You stand in front of this sign and eventually they will post what track number to go to - then everyone stampedes to the train.  Grand Central is much more civilized and posts the track number at least 30 minutes before, and kindly flashes the number if the track number changes.

P3140463

Back I went out into the rain to finish my day after saying goodbye to Rachel. Yeah, Phoenix sounds good right about now.

P3140469 P3140472 P3140475

Many people wanted to join my Interesting things... page today.

P3140477

P3140489

I would love to say this is some kind of artistic statement.  Instead, it's an accidental pic with my purple scarf covering the lens because of the rain.  Kinda cool though!

P3140495

I briefly met the Pope.

P3140493

P3140497

 I love this because the person with the umbrella kinda looks like the headless statue.

P3140512 Edit

I feel for you, Mr. Umbrella.  It was quite windy today, mine flipped inside out a few times.

P3140514

Rough.

P3140532

Selfie reflection of the day!

P3140538

Until the next Magic Monday!
