And you're the second person to mention the High Line: my sister who lives in Manhattan also told me about it and she said she loves the idea of a park right in the middle of Chelsea!Jeruenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902095693318762587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-44162186559059154152010-11-11T05:21:53.393-05:002010-11-11T05:21:53.393-05:00J' ai fait cette balade cet été à Paris, rigol...J' ai fait cette balade cet été à Paris, rigolo de savoir qu'il existe le même genre à New-York !<br />J'ignorais totalement l'origine de la famille Crockett !<br />Bizz lorilorilairehttp://lorilaire.canalblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-7301335867416123462010-11-07T15:17:06.784-05:002010-11-07T15:17:06.784-05:00J'ai trouvé ce billet fascinant; je ne savais ...J'ai trouvé ce billet fascinant; je ne savais pas que Dave Crockett est en fait d'origine Française.

I have been writing an article for an online magazine and the deadline was looming.<br />I'm so happy you had a nice time in NYC! The Highline is a wonderful place, isn't it? I was happy to read your impressions of it and see your photos. It was also interesting to learn about Davy Crockett's heritage!<br /><br />I am eagerly going to look at your prior NY posts.

There are still street names and family names of Huguenot origin and until today, the town is famous for silk and velvet and other textiles.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-43767630271134918782010-11-01T07:01:53.326-04:002010-11-01T07:01:53.326-04:00The things I keep learning from you, Vagabonde...e...The things I keep learning from you, Vagabonde...every single time!

I am surprised and delighted.<br /><br />The High Line was the highlight of my May visit to NY too. I think the design of it is remarkable. Lesley and I loved how the benches seemed to mesh with the rail lines. We really felt like we were walking on a country rail, except that the NY skyline and harbor were all around. We had a very nice Mother's Day brunch (one week after Mother's Day) at a nice restaurant just a block away, called Park.<br /><br />I always like seeing your beautiful photographs and read your responses to places. You have such a thoughtful perspective, with wisdom and an open heart.<br /><br />Guess what my word verification is: hyride<br /><br />:)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-10895196699937825392010-10-30T09:47:14.098-04:002010-10-30T09:47:14.098-04:00What a wonderful post!

But I expect nothing less from the Vagabonde, who has 100 followers now, well deserved, and a treat for all of us every time we visit!<br /><br />I didn't know anything about Crockett, but I also think he looks a little French. And the High Line, if I make it to New York again, I'll visit it, especially if it is a fine day like yours was.
