May 20 - made New York from Brasil. She is moored at the north end of the mooring field around 95th Street and the North River. In New York for a short period of R&R (rest and repairs). Above are a couple of glimpses from the Henry Hudson parkway (commonly referred to incorrectly as the West Side Highway). Below a shot from a spot perhaps near its "homeport" - Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.
UPDATE - HERE is Richard's arrival post and de rigeur Statue of Liberty shot.
And HERE are shots aboard Issuma.
Went to the New Year's parade in Chinatown with 许冰梅Xu Bingmei and Wang Xuemian. 我们也吃饭在福州饭馆。我吃了辣芥菜， 吃得很高兴。
The slide show is HERE.
I first encountered Parkour as I watched a young guy scale a 5 foot brick wall on Ft. Washington Ave. with the swift moves that a cat - or a rock climbing Lab like James - would make. I spoke to the fellow who told me abbut Parkour - an urban flight sport (as in fight or flight) that gives you the skills a stunt man needs to elude the police in one of those chase films I love. The Times has a video about it. Seems that women are taking it up now.
