being a taphophile and other things

it was a 
busy weekend

two of my Cincinnati friends visited
 Phillip(e) 
is an historian and docent trainer
 at
 Cincinnati's 
glorious 
which is quite the mouthful 

anyway

 he 
and 
Mary 
another friend and docent at Spring Grove 
had 
said 
they 
would like to visit 

coincidentally

 I'd recently 
spoken 
with 
Brian Sahd 
Woodlawn's Executive Director 

Kismet 

we got to Woodlawn



after an adventure on the aptly named Woodlawn Jerome #4 train 

Mary wondered how far we were from Vermont



nope 
not Vermont
the very end of the Bronx


timing is everything
Brian had just returned to his office

after introductions discovered Phil knows Susan Olsen,
 the Director of Historican Services, 
we got the royal treatment

 Susan personally escorted us
 on 
what was 
just 
going to be 
a quick look at a mausoleum 


she not only 
did 
that

she opened 
another 
so I could get shots of the 
Tiffany windows


 this carving on the floor



 she spent well over an hour with us  

Woodlawn 
covers
 400 acres 

we,
 I, 
am
 so 
grateful
she 
also
drove us to the subway station

  Next up
 on the agenda 
a walk 
along 



The High Line



 a visit to the Green Flea


Columbus Avenue put its fluff on


silly us doing that into the window shot


 lots of walking 
made 
lots of eating
 okay




brunch 
at 
between




 walking 
The High Line 
and 
wandering 
the 
Green Flea 
made 
indulging

We also beautified™ at Polished 
shopped at Zabars
ate 
Indian food
coffee at McDonald's
a first for me

 a whole lotta 
photos 
taken 
will be
 shared
a way to say thanks for coming along!
