Trying to look like you are not from California on the subway
11 October 2017
Hola,
Everyone, especially Mary Lee and Lewis, from California are trying to look like we are locals.
Not easy and even less successful.
Yesterday Lewis tried to looked like a New Yorker by wearing his Canadian Tilley hat on the subway.
We got a ten trip pass and right away used two swipes for one admit.
We then were looking at the subway map. That apparently is a sign that you are not local,and have no idea what you are doing.
We were vocalizing that we wanted to go to Chinatown on the 1.
A subway angel told us your goal on the subway is not to find the furthest station to stop at but rather the closest. He told us to take the 1 to 59 and then take the D to Grand.
On the way back we got off on 53,and quickly jumped back on. This observer asked us if we we had finally figured out where we were going.
Today Lewis lost the hat to take the subway to Hello Dolly. Did not work on the plan to look like a New Yorker.
Since it was a straight shot on the 1 we looked OK.
You really look like an alien when you can not successfully get through the turnstiles. Lewis managed to even mess that up to the surprise / delight of three guys. He had these three people get him through the handicap gate.
Handicap
Definitely from California
Wow,embarrassing again.
Hello Dolly was lots of fun with Bette Mittler.
We are safely back in our room with no more embarrassing moments reportable.
But tomorrow always has lots more possibilities.
Happy look good trails to you until we Blog again.
Mary Lee and Lewis
Even the upside down picture illustrates our issues today.
Tomorrow always has the potential of another glorious and wonderful day.
