A few more pics from New York. On Friday I walked along the High Line and found an art store 😀 (where I was very restrained) and on Saturday, Barbara and I had a lovely trip to Staten Island where we had a great time at Cassandra’s book club (hi everyone!) and then having a great tour around the island. I saw the baseball field which is in a slightly different place to where Deacon Field is in my books but it was still fun to see the real thing and drive around imagining my characters in various places. It continues to be very hot and humid (and even hotter today on Sunday so I’m having a bit of a relaxing day today, doing some writing and lounging around reading). Tomorrow I change hotels again and then Wednesday the conference craziness begins!
Anyway, some pics.
Empire State building from the Highline.
Highline flowers. The gardens have really gotten well established since I was here in 2011.

Some of the lovely peaceful garden at the Tibetan Museum on Staten Island.
One of the ferries
There is a lighthouse on Staten Island that sits on a tiny bit of land between two houses….mysterious!
