Well, not exactly "take" more like tiredly arrive. Very early we rose to catch the Amtrak to NYC for a visit with our other Pete -- Neu. We visited his flat, had breakfast at his local cafe, walked the length of the Highline, then left him to walk up 5th Avenue to Rockefeller Square, see the holiday window displays and all the department stores and visit Central Park. We were in town for the day to see his art installation in his school's Open Studio reception. After taking in his art, we headed to the other studios to see what students have been creating. After stopping for a couple of margharitas and some tostados for some December dining outside (in unseasonably warm weather) we head back to Philly on Amtrak.
