In the Subway



For those of you who may be viewing for the first time, I am currently in the US until late August, so I am posting from my homeland


I am ever fascinated by the NYC subway. People in Belgrade asked, "Aren't you afraid to travel alone in the subway in New York?" But I am not. I know bad things can happen, but I have found New Yorkers extremely kind and helpful, above and below ground.

You are right about New Yorkers - somehow they get an undeserved reputation. My son & I travel to NYC from Baltimore several times a year and have never had an issue. Lovvvvve the new header btw [and so does my son, Radovan].

Quite an artistic photograph! I like all the photos you've posted so far from NYC...

"Red, white, and blue" stands out in my mind, for some reason! ;-)

Btw, when I saw the name of your blog a few weeks ago, my first thought was: "I hope she's not vegeterian/vegan" :-D.

Hello Bibi. I just wrote that name on my post about Bibi Netanyahu, then I saw your name on a blogroll. It must be a sign that we should meet. :)
Love your subway sign. Like an icon.
Say hello to "the old country" (mine too) for me. Have fun in New York.
Greetings from Jerusalem.

I ride the subway at all hours, and haven't had a problem yet! We New Yorkers are actually a pretty tame and friendly (though not boring) bunch.

THE ROOF CAVED IN....

 Well, not the entire roof. Just the back side, which is not visible here. Every year I make a gingerbread house. Notice I said 'made,...
