Over the Rainbow


After dinner, Mark and I decided to walk along the waterfront to Hoboken.  Within minutes of leaving the building, a storm rolled in.  We, and almost all of the other people along the waterfront, hurried back to the apartment buildings.  There was a long line for the elevator, filled with people, dogs and strollers.  After we made it up to the apartment and closed the windows, the rain stopped.  We decided we'd try again.  As we left the building, a rainbow appeared over Manhattan, ending at Wall Street, or "the pot of gold".


We walked down to Hoboken, which is about a mile away.  There's a beautiful old train station there.  The entire area of Newport and Hoboken used to be a rail and shipping hub.  We walked out onto a large pier/park on the Hoboken waterfront and got a great view of mid and upper Manhattan.  The rain brought cooler temperatures, and it was a beautiful evening for a walk.
