June 27 and 28, 2017

When we left Boston, we. sailed through the Cape Cod canal.  Very fun to see all of the people watching and waving from the shore.  Apparently not a lot of cruise ships sail through here. In fact one (not Oceania) scraped the bottom of the railroad bridge during a passage.  According to the captain we had about 3 feet clearance after they lowered the mast.

It was fun to be back in NY.  What did we do?. Lots of walking- more than 7 miles each day.  We loved the sail in.

We visited St Patrick’s Cathedral, (lit a candle for Mom), Rockefeller center and had a special treat to be able to spend some time with my cousin Abbe who was here for a conference.

Some sights in NY:

We had a great dinner at Trattoria Dell arte and then went to see the show Hamilton.  Fabulous.

We returned to the ship late and then headed out early to meet friends Tom and Alice for brunch at Barney Greengrass. But first a stop at Zabars.

After brunch we headed for a walk through Central Park, then a surprise.  Carriage ride led by Jimmy the horse.  He loved his carrots! 

The weather was perfect both days and we had a great time.

We left at 4 and had a fun sail away.

Later we had Part 2 of the Montréal/ NY bagel competition.  Here are the results:

A good  time was had by all!

Next stop: Bermuda!
