New York City With the American Red Cross

     Rollie and I have been in NYC with the American Red Cross.  We normally work seven days a week, 12 hours a day.  This day is a slow day and we actually have an afternoon off.  The flue and cold season has arrived here.  Rollie has a slight sniffle, but I so far have been lucky.  Rollie works in DST, which is communications:  phones, computers, etc, and really likes it.  I have been in staff wellness, taking care of the volunteers, so they can take care of the clients. 
      We walk the streets to and from headquarters on 49th and 10th Ave, for those of you who know a little bit about NYC.  We are starting to walk like these guys too.  No one is heavy here, and it is great to walk this city.  We have eaten in the deli’s because that seems more economical.  We have tried their reubens, pastrami, and of course the cheese cake, but it doesn’t top my neighbor Patty’s who makes a yummy one ever so often.

We have had one day off, and took the city tour by boat.  Here are a few of the pictures.  We will be off tomorrow and hope to go to ground zero, and see a few more things that are in walking distance.

Overall this has been a great experience.  We will be glad to get out of the city, and look for those wide open skies of Texas soon.
