How lucky are we?! Our day started slowly again and we caught a cab up to 72nd Street and walked through Central Park to the Boathouse Restaurant for brunch. To get to the venue we walked through the garden in full bloom. The Cherry blossoms have begun to fall and other blossoms were out. The tulips were still showing a bit of life and as we passed one particularly section there was the most beautiful bird scratching in amongst the leaves.
The Boathouse is always lovely it doesn't matter what time of year. Today we met a number of other AUSSIEs who had chosen to be there today too. Outside there were turtles basking on the rocks at the side of the boathouse. We walked back through the park to the subway and headed to Yankee Stadium.
And so a day of theater of another kind- at the baseball We were perched up in almost the back row but straight behind home plate. It was a great day- the Yankees won and made 6 runs in one innings. It was early in the piece and really the highlight of the game. We enjoyed the spectacle explaining aspects of play to both Helen and Anne and making note of the guys selling hot dogs, drinks, peanuts and cracker jacks. We have come home to get our heads together for our new week. Jude and Helen need to spend time packing and getting ready for their trip to Memphis and Nashville.
