The evening meal was served around 7pm.
The leftover chicken from last night was repurposed as a Bonne Femme. I have included the recipe if you would like to try it out.
There were two wines served at dinner, a Muga Rioja Red Wine and a Costamolino Argiolas White Wine.
We arrived at the apartment around 3:30 pm.
The walk on the beach and the wildlife reserve came to four kilometres. We sat down for a cup of tea with cookies while dinner plans were discussed.
I went with the Irish Breakfast Tea (Twinings) and added a splash of half & half for balance. The cookies were oatmeal raisin (Keebler), but rather dry.
I prefer more butter in my cookies.
After lunch, we visited the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
Walked about two kilometers and got some nice shots of monarch butterflies and mockingbirds.
Had WiFi problems and didn’t upload the images, and then later I lost the photos with a failed HDD.
Thankfully, I was later able to recover the images, and I have included them here in a great gallery of the Wildlife Refuge.
We checked out the oceanside beach and went for lunch.
I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup (#4) with blue cheese.
My sandwich had lovely bacon and apples inside, and the bread was toasted crispy.
Everything seemed to gush out with each bite.
Quite friendly staff and quick as well, despite the number of customers. $45 all in for three people.
The morning meal is a cup of tea and a bowl of porridge.
I decided on the Lady Grey (Twinings), I find it a mellow brew. The porridge has dates, apples, and raisins.
Quite a tasty start to the day.
Looks like heavy rain on Tuesday and scattered storms on Wednesday.
We may take the rental pickup truck for a drive around Brooklyn and the area.
After a long cab ride to the apartment, I have now settled in.
Had a cup of coffee and biscuits with my uncle, catching up on family matters.
It has been 11 years since we last saw one another, and I am happy to be here.
Seemed like we were only in the air for less than an hour before the captain said we were arriving. I took some shots of clouds on the way.
I eat the feta chicken wrap I bought at RDU. As I got through the second half, I realized there was barely any cheese in it.
So decided to get some food and visit the bathroom during my wait.
Figures the plane became “un-delayed” while I was gone.
The gate was nigh empty upon my arrival and they were calling my name over the PA system.
Luckily, I was able to board, and now all I see is clouds.
Well, some big wind has delayed my flight to JFK.
The free WiFi is fast enough to watch YouTube videos, so I’m checking out this week’s episode of Happy Together.
