San Francisco Vistas Turn to NYC

This trip to NYC included reunions with family and other friends!  Here you see Matteo, who let Sara Brunk Beardsley and me stay in  his bedroom in September 2014 even before his November 1st birth!  He now has a little brother, Rohan, and another on the way.  Here the brothers are with lovely mother and grandmother, Angela and Barb.

Jonathan and I were so happy that Becky, Emily nad Dale could come up from Pennsylvania to spend the day with us, but we were sorry that Jamie and Megan couldn't.  Here we're holding a sign wishing they were with us.

We five were joined by Jim Canning (from Peace Corps Tonga days and Grease) and Laura and John-Charles (on the Camino when Bill and I met him) and Chuck t Blossom on Columbus Avenue, right around the corner from where Jonathan lives.  Because of the death of the author of Cabaret, that musical was in the news again, which meant that Chuck (Charles Abbott) was in the news again as an actor who took the part of the MC in Cabaret after Joel Grey left the show.

Diana and Jonathan planned to make a special dinner for me in her place in Brooklyn, but she wound up doing most of the cooking so Jonathan could spend more time with us on Manhattan.  It was a delicious meal, and Diana's home is as lovely as she is!
