Our whirlwind weekend continues as we board our flight to nyc. It is late evening as we take a cab to our hotel in Chelsea; the lights of the city are beautiful from our 21st level window. Ray and I walk to Time Square and back returning after midnight.
Robert arrives after a red eye flight and we hurriedly dress and figure out public transportation to Brooklyn. We arrive just in time and enter the Polish Catholic Church. I expected a full congregation for high mass but it is mostly our families and friends. The mass is in Polish and quite long which is exemplary of the 2 babies who sit through the entire service. The baptism follows the mass and is memorable. Then the celebration begins at Kafsa, a polish European restaurant, for a seated lunch, music and dancing, dinner and cake. Aside from the music being quite loud, it is a lovely party.
We make our way back to Manhattan and take a lovely walk to the High Line, The Vessel and back. The streets feel safe and the city lively.
