På gensyn / See you later

Om bare et par timer skal jeg tage i lufthavnen. Gider ikke! Det har været en dejlig ferie. (Men det synes jeg jo efter hver ferie. Heldigvis.)
I går blev en smule anderledes. Min telefon besluttede pludselig at den ikke ville modtage sms'er fra Dorina. Så i stedet for at mødes, ventede hun på mig og jeg på hende, inden jeg endelig fik ringet.
Mens jeg ventede, tog jeg en tur rundt i nabolaget og var oppe på "High Line Park", hvor jeg mødte den lille fætter på billedet. Den vimsede rundt, helt uanfægtet af alle fodgængerne. Man kan godt blive lidt bekymret for sådan en lille, uansvarlig mus alene i New York......

In just a few hours I'll be going to the airport. Don't want to go! It was a wonderful vacation. (But that's how I feel after every vacation. Fortunately.)
Yesterday was a bit different. My phone suddenly made up its mind that it didn't want to receive text messages from Dorina. So instead of meeting her, she was waiting for me and I for her, until I finally called her.
While I was waiting, I went for a walk around the neighborhood and visited the "High Line Park" where I met the little guy on the picture. He was running around, without caring about all the pedestrians. You could really worry about a little, irresponsible mouse alone in New York......

Parken ligger på et gammelt jernbanespor og er mægtig hyggelig.

The park was made on an old railway track and is a really nice place.

Eftersom jeg stadig ventede, besluttede jeg at gå over forbi Purl Soho. På vejen kom jeg forbi det hus, som "Venner" skulle have foregået i. (Og en flok turister, der stod og tog billeder....)

Since I was still waiting, I decided to walk past Purl Soho. On my way there, I passed this house, where "Friends" was supposed to take place. (And a bunch of tourists taking pictures.....)'

I Purl Soho har de mange lækre ting. Som de tager en ret god pris for! Jeg nøjedes mest med at kigge. Hvad siger I til det her neonpink garn? Lækker, blød uld.....

In Purl Soho they have so many nice things. And the prices are high! Mostly, I looked. What do you think of this very pink yarn? Nice, soft wool......

Endelig fandt Dorina og jeg hinanden og tog i Brooklyn General Store. De havde udstilling af høner i vinduet, som mit nyindkøbte billede passede perfekt til!
Butikken var lige så dejlig og hyggelig som sidst. Jeg fik 20% rabat. Dejligt sted!

Finally Dorina and I found each other and went to Brooklyn General Store. The window display was hens and chicken, which was perfect with my new picture bought on the High Line!
The shop was as nice and cozy as ever. I got 20% off. Lovely place!

Bagefter gik vi over i "La Casita". Udenfor stod denne fine bænk! Det var også totalt hyggeligt. Jeg havde været der en gang før, mens det var Dorina's første gang.

Afterwards we walked to "La Casita". Outside was this pretty bench! It was such a nice place too. I've been there once before, but it was Dorina's first time to visit.

I vinduet var der en strikket version af gaden. Kunne man ikke tænke sig noget lignende med Nyhavn? Det var flot lavet.
Vi kiggede og købte lidt. Bagefter drak vi rødvin og strikkede. Konceptet med garnbutik og bar i et holder hele vejen!

In the window was a knitted version of their street. We should do something like that with Nyhavn in Copenhagen! It was really well done.
We looked and bought a little. Afterwards we had redwine and knitted a bit. The yarn-shop/bar combo is a total winner!

På vej hjem så jeg en Tardis mere! Med lys i! Den var dog ikke landet helt efter planen......
Nu skal jeg så hjem. Der er vist ikke så meget at sige, andet end at jeg nok bliver nødt til at tage herover igen på et tidspunkt! Jeg elsker New York......

On the way home I saw another Tardis! With lights and all! The landing had been somewhat sudden, it seems......
Now I'm going home. Not much to say than I really have to come back some time! I love New York...
