MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education.

{We Stayed for 4 Nights in Manhattan, our Trip to NYC}

Sorry for having been a bit absent lately but soon I will visit you again!
We did indeed make our first 'real' trip to New York City and spent 4 nights at the Hyatt Place New York/Midtown-South which is right in Manhattan.
Just click the above link...

For us, being from The Netherlands, it had even more historical meaning to us as the Dutch were the first that colonized the USA!
It was called New Netherland with New Amsterdam as their natural harbor, which now is called New York City.
No, New Amsterdam was NOT the capital, neither is New York City.
The capital of the State of New York is Albany.
Yes, in 1609 the story began... and it ended on September 8th, 1664 when Manhattan was taken by the British.
We were on the 18th floor, out of 26... In Manhattan almost all buildings are high rise!
On August 29, it was 32 years ago since we left The Netherlands; on my youngest brother's birthday...

As this is my very first post written from my new Mac, I just wanted to air this in time for its historic birthday on September 8th.

  1. Dearest Mariette,
    I am glad that you visited Manhattan. I also thank you for the link. If I knew I would have met with you somewhere in the city. I live just about an hour and a half train's ride away, from Manhattan.

  3. Hello,Mariette.
    So glad to see that you had a wonderful trip to Manhattan. I like to see that towering building you stayed. I have not been to Manhattan. The name of Manhattan always reminds me of the great movie"Bronx tale". One of my favorite movie played by Robert De Niro.
    Happy days!

  7. I enjoyed reading some historic details. And I look forward to reading more about your trip :-)
    I've been to NY several times both for work and leisure. It must have changed a lot since I was there the last time!

  8. I've been to New York only once, many years ago and really enjoyed it, but I don't think I could live in such a huge city...

  12. I didn't know any of that, well I knew that Manhattan was taken by the British but had no idea when that happened.

  13. Liebe Mariette,
    jetzt durfte ich noch etwas lernen. Denn das Niederland die ersten in New York waren wusste ich nicht.
    Ist bestimmt eine beeindruckende Stadt! Zum wohnen wäre diese Stadt nichts für mich, aber für einen Besuch wäre es sicher toll.

    Einen schönen Tag!
    Liebe Grüessli

  14. De geschiedenis is en blijft ook voor mij een interessant onderwerp maar daar zal het dan ook bij blijven.
    Jullie voorkeur gaat uit naar grote steden met hoge gebouwen en torenhoge hotels etc.

    Mariette jij weet inmiddels wel dat het mij niet kan bekoren,ben meer van het kleinschalige rustige dorpsleven en zeker tijdens korte vakantie's vinden wij het heerlijk om accommodatie te zoeken daar waar rust,ruimte,natuur en landelijke sfeer te vinden is.

    Smaken verschillen en dat is maar goed ook want stel je voor dat al die verdiepingen met hotelkamers te lijden hebben van onderbezetting dat zou geen goed teken zijn.

    Fijne dag,
    Ger

  16. Liebe Mariette,

    oh, ihr seid in New York gewesen. Es ist schon wirklich eine beeindruckende Stadt mit all den riesigen Wolkenkratzern. Ich habe eine Freundin auf der New Jersey Seite und als wir sie vor vielen (sehr vielen Jahren) besucht haben, waren wir natürlich auch mit dem Bus in der City. Wohnen möchte man dort eher nicht, aber beeindruckend ist es schon. Anbei sende ich Dir die Antwort von meiner Mutter auf Deinen sehr lieben Kommentar.

    Liebe Grüße
    Kerstin

    Liebe Mariette,

    das ist ja eine Überraschung auch noch Post zu bekommen aus meinem Lieblingsstaat Georgia und meinem Lieblingsfilm Vom Winde verweht. Das wäre schon alleine wieder eine Story für sich, bis wir die Karten damals, ich glaube es war so in etwa 1954, endlich hatten. Nie wieder hungern, Scarletts letzter Satz im ersten Teil, er sitzt noch tief in meinem Inneren. Na, und der Rhett Butler hatte es mir als Pubertierende natürlich angetan.

    Danke, dass Du mir so schön geantwortet hast, so macht bloggen Spaß. Ich danke vielmals.

    Helga

    PS: jetzt muss ich doch noch schnell schmunzeln, da in unserer Familie immer noch der Satz gilt:Feierabend, wenn wir viel gearbeitet hatten, der Aufseher der Plantage sagte dann: ich sagen wenn Feierabend. Natürlich Filmübersetzung in Deutsch.
