We beat it north...until we encountered the eternal traffic snarl that is Washington DC and Baltimore. Even so, it was a good drive.
Our plan to park at Newark Airport and take the train into the city worked well. As we emerged street level from Penn Station, we almost stepped into the midst of a beer can-flinging fight among a number of people. We scooted quickly to get out of that space. The police seemed to be standing by but sort of ignoring it.
We walked the block to our hotel and got checked in. The lobby is deliciously art deco. The beds are very comfy, the AC works, and the room good. The view is only across to another tower of windows. You can tell the room has been here for a long time and it makes me wonder what stories are attached to the other people who have stayed here.
But we better get started on a final plan for the day or we won't have a story of our own.
You certainly have an entertaining way with words.
