{Saint Patrick's Cathedral NYC}

When in New York City, you have to bend backwards quite a lot for capturing all the tall buildings. Such was the case for this magnificent Saint Patrick's Cathedral. For United States standards, this is quite an old, historic building. The cornerstone of St. Patrick’s Cathedral was laid in 1858 and her doors swept open in 1879. If you click on the above hyperlink, you can read more about its history.

We were so very lucky on August 28 of 2015 with the weather we had!

Sure, we would love to go back to this marvelous city on an equally beautiful day.

Have you visited New York City?

Thanks for your visits.

{Trump Tower 5th Ave NYC}

Back to our trip to New York City on August 28, 2015...

So many things have happened in-between that I never had time to work these photos in.

BUT, with the world-wide media coverage about Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump, guess it is about time that I show them!

I've taken this photo of the TRUMP TOWER, with my iPhone 6 Plus, from the bus... 

Wish they would have given us time to get inside!

We'll have to go back again and explore this fascinating city a bit more in depth.

Provided, Pieter's knee will get somewhat better so he can endure the walking.

This all-glass structure got completed in 1983, the year that we came to the USA. 

Inside there are luxury condominiums, offices, stores and restaurants and yes, having a cappuccino there for a break would have been great!

You can also find Trump Tower New York on Face Book, just click the pink hyperlink.

Has any of you had the privilege of dining or having a cup of coffee/tea inside one of the Trump Tower restaurants?

{Time for Biking}

SO very happy that again we both find time to bike together on our new Schwinn Bikes!

Today we together took off, bikes on the bike rack of our Toyota RAV4, to a reasonable flat area where we could bike.
We do live in the Holly Hills subdivision, so that explains a lot!

This photo is from August 1, 2015 when I just got my new white Schwinn bike!

It took us almost one month and lots of mileage for getting it...

A horror story from K-Mart with once the wrong one sent and not willing/able to deliver to the local store but one hour driving distance away.

But finally it came!

Here, Pieter put it on our bike rack, behind our Toyota RAV4.

Yes, I opted for this white Schwinn Discover 700c Womens Bike with 21 speeds

It is in aluminum and weighs only 45.6 lbs or 20.7 kg

Spokes are steel...

I loved the color white!

It made me very happy!

The only negative aspect is that now we have the bike rack mounted on the back of our Toyota RAV4 and loading and unloading when we do shopping with this one (rarely!) is a bit tricky...

I literally have to hang over the seat (after the head support has been pulled off) and hand things to Pieter...

So here we go; both bikes on the bike rack!

This photo is from October 30, 2015 when we still could ride our bikes.

Pieter holding my Schwinn and his Schwinn (not aluminum and thus a bit heavier).

We park our Toyota RAV4 and cycle in a more flat and quiet area, hardly any traffic!

Left there were peanuts before and now cotton is being sown.

Pine trees on the other side... In the distance you can se our white Toyota RAV4 being parked.

We only paddled some 9 km or 5 mi and that is enough for an 87-year old heart patient! Even for me, building up my leg muscles again from too much sedentary life lately. We take twice a rest and drink water.

But it sure feels great for being surrounded by nature and for using your muscles!

Those pine trees will eventually get cut for the pulp wood industry.

Last week when Pieter wheeled by himself, he saw this snake on the road, being run over by a car...

When we got home around 5:00 PM it still was 32°C or 90°F
