La Reine de France


La Reine de France
Originally uploaded by darenpackham.
The Queen of France made a brief visit to the Island of Manhatten from her secret base on the Isle of Wight and I came from Tybee Island to help celebrate her birthday. (which is older than me and as much as Dai last year, or whenever it was that he was 40) That is altogether a lot of Islands (and years) what a contrast from the sleepy Tybee to the crazy Manhatten.

The flight from Savannah to New York costs about as much as a train fom Brighton to London in rush hour and the 0645 from Savannah lands in the city at 0830. You can be happily sat in a real New York Deli, eating bagels and drinking coffee served by rude staff by 10 in the morning. How cool is that?

Plus I got to see my sweet friend and watch her gaze longingly at the lines, colours and design of the New York transit map and study at length the intricate timings of the local cross town busses.

Happy Birthday Carol. It was fun.
