NYC

The sleeping was only fair for me, but Evelyn slept well, praise God. She slept so well that she wanted to get up at 6:45. So off to breakfast we went. We are traveling first class, so our meals are included. We returned to our compartment to clean up a bit and rearrange the suitcase. It was then that I remembered I had forgotten to bring our hanging bag with our dress clothes in it. We may have to buy some clothes when we get back to the states. Canadian goods are too expensive. We made a 20 minute stop in DC, so we exited and walked up and down the platform for exercise. We played a few games of kings on the corner until we got to Baltimore. We were both getting sleepy but didn’t want to sleep until we got to our hotel. There is a tremendous problem with bedbugs. We don’t know what tragedy we will experience. We arrived in NYC right on time but had trouble finding the luggage retrieval location. We walked around Penn Station quite a while. After finding the location, we caught a taxi that brought us to our hotel room. It was a small room but clean. We inspected but found no bedbugs. We walked around the immediate neighborhood for much of the afternoon. We came back and heated last night’s calzone and Stromboli. We wrapped up the rest and part of the hamburger we ate at noon and took it out on the street. When a man asked for change we gave him the meals. We continued walking and went to McDonalds for a yogurt cup before returning to the room. We were tired and went to bed while watching Notre Dame play Michigan State.
