Sne-eventyr / Snow adventure

 

I dag gik jeg så min tur langs floden. Sikke en tur! Det sneede helt vildt, men det er jo trods alt hyggeligt at gå i lidt sne, ikke? Det tog - som ventet - ca. 30-45 min at gå til Lower Manhatten, der var nærmest usynlig pga. skyerne.

Today I had my walk along the river. What a walk! It was snowing like crazy, but it is a little nice walking in the snow, isn't it? It took me around 30-45 minutes to walk to Lower Manhattan, just like planned. The towers were hardly visible due to the clouds.

 

Jeg skulle se 9/11 Memorial center. Efter først at have trasket rundt i sne, og så stå og vente på at de åbnede, var det altså lidt af en nitte at skulle have den våde jakke af og åbne den våde taske for at komme gennem security, og så foregik alting bare udendørs bagefter, da jeg havde fået det hele på igen....... (Og var blevet vådere.)

Det var såmænd smukt nok, men jeg var træt af sne!

I was going to see the 9/11 Memorial center. After walking around in the snow, and then standing in line for them to open, it didn't felt nice having to take off the wet coat and open the wet bag for security check, and then having to go around outside afterwards when I put on the coat again....... (By then I was even wetter.)

It was really pretty, though, I just had enough snow!

Det her er det nye tårn. Bliver ret fint. Jeg gik ret hurtigt igen og for lidt vild. Tog en omvej (= mere sne!) og fandt endelig den boghandel, jeg virkelig, virkelig trængte til!
Istedet for den planlagte (og betalte) 2-timers gåtur rundt i Harlem, sad jeg bare og hyggede, drak kaffe og forsøgte at tørre. Trods alt en dejlig dag i New York!

This is the new tower. Looking good. I left rather quickly and got a little lost. Took a detour (= more snow!) and finally found the bookstore I needed so badly!
Instead of the planned (and payed) 2-hours walk around Harlem, I was just sitting in Barnes and Nobles, read books, drank coffee and tried to get dry. After all a nice day in New York!
