New York - September 29th

Dana took me to the bus and I took the bus into New York.
I got off the bus at the Port Authority Bus Station and got a MetroCard Fun Pass that would let me use the buses and subways for the whole day.
I walk down to 34th and 9th to B&H Photo. I bought a filter for me new lens and a lens hood for my old lens.
From there I took the bus along 34th street to 5th avenue neat the empire state building and then the subway down to the Brooklyn Bridge subway station.
I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. The views were great, but it was very windy.
I walked around the Brooklyn side for a bit and then took the Subway back to Manhattan and up to 77th street. I tried to say hello to the people I know at Ramaz, but they were all busy or not there.
I went into a best buy on the corner of 86th and Lexington and found the address of the New York SPCA. It was on 92nd between 1st and York, so I walked up there. They didn't really have time for me.
I walked through Carl Schurz Park and saw the dog parks (two, one for small dogs and one for large ones) and Gracie Mansion (The official residence of the Mayor of New York City). I walked passed 10 east end avenue where we lived when we were in New York, and the doorman, Richie, actually recognized me.
I took the 79th street bus across town to Broadway and then walked down to 41st street and then back to Port Authority Bus Station.
I took the bus back to Willowbrook mall, where I met Dana.
We did some mall walking, had supper and then went to get Dana some groceries.
That was it for the day.
