Well, in the meantime (Thursday afternoon) we arrived back home. 7:15 hour flight, smooth, we even had the center seat free between us. "Chicken or pasta" - what else? – and a "new", sort of strange breakfast of sweet waffles with a sausage-egg filling,,, Touch-down at 7:15 am - foggy, grey, much cooler in Munich - home around 10 am. By far not as fast as in NYC!
On Wednesday morning in NYC: rain! The first day with rain on our entire trip! It was
still warm and didn't rain hard, so we went out in the morning, after packing,
to check out 125th Street in Harlem, the main and historic axle of Harlem, and, in constant change.
The famous
Apollo Theater is under renovation, but its new "sister theater", the
Victoria (above, right) is operative. The new Studio Museum is about to open soon (November?), too, and so is the Urban Civil Rights Museum. Many of
the old, formerly "black" stores shut down, new fancy brand-stores in modern
buildings taking over. Same with restaurants.
Well,
we had to say farewell to our apartment in 149th Street now. We picked up our luggage
and walked over to the subway and on with the A Train to Penn Station (photo) and from there by train to Newark
International, then by airtrain to the terminal. Easy-peasy this year, with
only one (new) suitcase and our backpacks. On our 84th US trip, we apparently have learned how and what to pack and how to make traveling easier!
