(Pictured: Lower Manhattan & Brooklyn. The two bridges you can see are Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. The two big green Brooklyn blobs are Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetary. The small tip of an island is Governors' Island of which more later. As the flight circled Manhattan to come in for its landing we had many lovely views of the City.)After many frantic weeks of preparation, self-doubt, and repeated checking off of lists, we set off from fair Montréal en vers New York City. We expected some kind of last minute hitch at Customs, yet all went according to plan and we were met at the airport by The Atomic Squid,* our kind host and fixer-of-all-problems in Brooklyn. She kindly ferried us to her home, The Figtree, where she plied us with noodle soup and fixed us up a cozy nook. We trotted up to fetch the keys, cast a brief glance over the new place, and wearily wended our way back to Figtree, where we greeted our second host, The Grand Pademelon, and tumbled into a sleepy heap in the cozy nook. There endeth the First Day.
