A sleep in on Saturday, which turns out cold, wet and windy. Rob decides he will be better off spending the day in bed so I leave him to it and after a bit of a walk, coffee, and lunch I settle on the new Tim Burton film Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Sadly, the script is disappointing but it looks good. Rob still not getting up so another cinema, another film - A Man Called Ove which I do enjoy. It is a heartwarming film and a cheery note to end on.
Sunday is fine and it is back to being a tourist with a visit to the Chelsea Market.
Rob is recovered and is headed to the Whitney Museum, I take a walk along the High Line, a former elevated freight train line which is converted to a park. It is windy up there and very crowded. I love it in spite of the crowd and will be back when it is quieter.
Just to demonstrate how windy it was, on my way back to meet Rob I passed the fire department, well not the whole fire department, putting a wall back on place. you can't quite see that they made use of available local resources (street rubbish bin) to get the job done. Sorry, was in a bit of a hurry.
Rob took a wrong turn, enjoyed a walk at ground level and missed the Whitney. Ah well.

After lunch we have the first of our theatre experiences - Anna Deveare Smith gives a magnificent performance delivering a series of monologues. The characters she plays are people Smith interviewed about the "pipeline" which feeds poorly educated children into the prison system, and how to change that. They are lifted verbatim from the interview transcripts and deliver a powerful message. It is a great start to our Broadway, we'll mostly off Broadway, experience.
