Another day in the city that never sleeps... except now with cloudy weather. We had breakfast at the other place just around the corner (there were 3, and we had 3 mornings so we played it fair). Before getting on the subway and heading towards Thomas Paine Park to visit the statue of Abraham de Peyster (probably a relative way back according to my fathers books). After having taken the obligatory picture with said relative (who wouldn't?) we headed off to the ...

With the hike through Boston still in our legs I won't lie and say we got up at the crack of dawn, but we still managed a decent 'early rise'! Breakfast in the place around the corner we headed off. The weather was gorgeous and instead of taking the subway we decided to walk towards MoMA.

We had an uneventful flight, decent inflight entertainment, but no food :( A little apprehensive we walked into the airport terminal, expecting a long long time with the customs, the fact that Jenneen who was going to pick us up, said not to bother texting until we had gotten our luggage wasn't particularly encouraging. But it ended up really not being too bad (it still took over an hour, but a record compared to previous times). Outside Jenneen picked us up. A...
