New York 2013

At the end of June, we spent four days in New York City on our way to Texas.  We had a really nice hotel, the Conrad, in the lower west section of Manhattan.  Since we did a lot of tourist things on our last trip, this one was mostly about eating good food and walking around the city.

When we arrived in New York, Max said, “It smells like Texas but it’s not as hot.”

Leo was confused by the large plastic rocks for kids to play on in the parks.  I guess not everyone can have giant ice age boulders like they do around Sweden.

Frankfurt

We spent the day in Frankfurt yesterday.  It was allright, but perhaps I would have liked the city more if I had not been awake for over a day.  Also, it’s a hub city.  Put some signs around town to tell us where things are, Germans!  Couldn’t find the Main river.  Oh well.

Temperature was HOT.  30 c (90f).  We went to a kids’ museum, ate frankfurters (what else?) and walked around until we couldn’t stay awake anymore and headed back to the airport.  I sacrificed a really nice skirt and shirt, plus a scarf to the people of Frankfurt when it was so hot that I accidently left them on a bench.  Enjoy.
