Just got back from a little trip up North. It is early summer there so things look bright green and lush. It is always nice to experience the hills and forested roads in the New York, Connecticut area, such different landscape than the one we find outside our windows. The Hudson River has such a different look than the Mississippi, the Palisades on one side and towering skyscrapers on the other as you glide into Manhattan. NYC in the early summer months, before the bus fumes and tar have been exposed to extended heat feels all full of promise with summer dresses and a more casual feel. It reminds me of seeing your office mate, usually in a shirt and tie in shorts and sneakers for the first time The store windows are full with beach ware, and while couples fill all open spaces dining al fresco, the undercurrent is things are happening somewhere else, the beach, the mountains, by the little lake – outside the city where everyone wants to be. I cannot imagine a more different vibe than what you get on the streets of New Orleans. Here the obsession with the hand held devices is still manageable so people make eye contact when they walk pass each other on the street and even though it is hot and sticky, we may want a pool in our immediate future, or perhaps a cold beer or just and air conditioned venue you don’t have the sense that everyone is biding their time until they can get somewhere more conducive to the season. We sweat, we dance, we eat, we sweat some more but we are here and contentedly so.
