Days 9 and 10 and Saturday

Thursday was expected to be somewhat busy and it was, but it turned out different from expected.  A few appointments and such ended up being canceled, but other things filled the gaps. In the evening we went with friends to see "Blaze 2015" at Van Cortlandt Manor in Westchester county, NY.  If you look at the Oct. 28 entry from 2008-  a week before we left for India- you will see a few pictures from the place then. This event has continued over the years and grown in popularity.  It is still remarkable. This time we could only get tickets for 9PM- last entry, but this worked out well as there were fewer people. It was warmer than the last time, but the bright moon made it less spooky.
Friday was day 10 and started with an early car maintenance visit and  then times was spent trying to use some new software on the new mac and then later time was spent doing an appointment from the previous day that was fouled up and then we had a pleasant lunch at a french restaurant.
Saturday was mainly spent traveling the NYC to see the Photo 2015 show. An Indian friend has taken up an interest in photography and so we decided to sign up and go together. Entry is free, but, they get your email address.  It is a large exhibit in the Javits center, and a but crowded, but not too bad by NY standards.  All sorts of photography equipment and supplies on exhibit.  It was interesting to see, but a bit overwhelming and tiring.  Traffic in the city was hectic as is pretty usual, but we managed. The trains have changed their weekend schedules from the past and were a bit less convenient.
