Day 36: New York City/ Long Island
July 1: Can you believe it's July already?!
Spent most of my day running errands and moving out of the hostel. Adam kindly offered for me to leave my bags at his place while I went to Long Island for the weekend. Thanks Adam!
Had a short look in at the Museum of TV & Radio and realised it wasn't what I thought, so took advantage of the free entry to the Museum of Modern Art across the road, and have another look at exhibits I didn't get the chance to see earlier in the week.
Caught the train to Long Island to see my relatives and celebrate an early 50th wedding anniversary (mazeltov bill and sue!) - it's really in September but as all the relatives are in town for the summer and the July 4 weekend, it was better to have the celebration now. First, we had a BBQ dinner at the beach (Lido Beach - near Jones Beach and Long Beach); but due to the cold windy weather that set it, as it was about to storm, we went back to one of my cousin's place for cake. Great meeting everyone and catching up with those I'd met previously.
Dad, I know you miss me... so a big special hello to you tonight! Hopefully our chat will keep you going for the next while :-)
