This is the view out of the window as I type. Due to an unexpected adventure in house repair, I am staying with the boyfriend downtown at the moment. It's definitely a different vibe down here in Tribeca/Battery Park City: lots of children, lots of dogs, lots of parks. It feels like a neighbourhood catering to families, but the buildings are so tall. In much of the rest of the world, this is not unusual. Having spent all of my adult life in Greenwich Village, the West Village and Union Square, it's a bit odd to live in the valley of the condominiums.
Still, it's lovely to step outside and be surrounded by manicured green spaces. Everyday, I think I will take a constitutional along the river in the late afternoon and enjoy the views of the Hudson. Mostly, I'm online and check on the progress of the sunset at afternoon's end.
