Arrival in Gotham

Monday, July 25. Peggy and I arrived this afternoon in a temperate 73% - which we found very agreeable and a little surprising. We are staying, for the moment, at the apartment of the Music Director at Trinity Church, roughly one block from Ground Zero, and a quick walk to Trinity Church and St. Paul's Chapel. City Hall is two blocks from the apartment, along with at least three metro stations. This is very familiar territory and we can maneuver about comfortably.We went swimming and chilled for a while before venturing out in the rain. I'm afraid the closest we came to the seriously Gothic on this first day was Hogwarts Academy. We met up with Nathaniel and Molly around Lincoln Center for dinner and the last Harry Potter movie. I thought it more than did that last wonderful book justice. I can't believe it's all over.
