What) In addition to gawking and taking pictures I did collect a few items while I was walking around.

    Where) Various Places

    Why) I would say that it is a compulsion for me but that is not very flattering so let's just say that I enjoy finding interesting or beautiful items.





























I found this brochure for the Guggenheim and I know I would have gone inside if we had been in that part of the city.







I was pleasantly surprised to meet a robed monk on the street but I was strangely disappointed that he was selling this item.







I was pleased to purchase this tin sign.  Would you believe that only one street vendor of the twenty we saw had this particular sign?






I was more excited to purchase these Nerds because of the pleasant childhood memories they brought back for me. 






Last year the Strand Bookstore made the Buckys list even though we didn't get there.  This year we got there and I bought ...






... these two books but the Strand did not live up to the expectations I had for it so I am not giving it another Buckys entry.
