I was caught out twice, once by the change in clocks, and secondly by ‘jet lag’…so as Joe demanded I get up at 0830 I was slightly bemused, as every clock I could see had a different time on it !
We had a quick breakfast, and then wen round the corner from Joe’s apt to mass at Church of Holy Trinity,http://www.htcny.org/ a huge church, bigger than most Cathedrals in the UK for 930 mass. The church was scarcely populated just before 930, but at the last minute everyone arrived – something I was to get used to, no one in NYC gets anywhere…until the last minute, no time wasters !
After mass we wandered in the sunshine, firstly to Zabars , a great Deli for coffee and then to the Bagel shop ,H+ H , reputedly the Best Bagel shop…in the World ? http://www.yelp.com/biz/h-and-h-bagels-new-york.
We returned to the Apt in time to watch England beat Scotland, in the Calcutta Cup,a dour Rugby match.
Meanwhile the Chef de Maison – Nicola had been preparing a great ‘English’ lunch of Roast beef and all trimmings, and nice cake…We had also been joined b the first of the ‘Walsh’ clan who I would meet over the next few weeks,Billy Walsh,my cousins son and his wife Shannon.
I then spent the rest of the day relaxing and panning the weeks events/tourist schedule.
