Washington Square was beautiful under the snow, like forever in my mind.
Fue casi una tarde sin más. Subimos andando por Broadway. Yo, Cristina (la hermana de Maria), mi sobrina Karla (su hija) y mi hijo pequeño Nicolas. Entramos en varias tiendas. Karla y Nicolas jugaban juntos sin parar, como niños pequeños. Me compré un sombrero aconsejado por Cristina y una mujer rusa. Y tomamos Ice Cream Soda, un batido de chocolate, y tiramisu, con café, en Caffe Reggio. A los viandantes les tuvimos que parecer casi una familia feliz también.
Washington Square estaba bella bajo la nieve, como para siempre en mi recuerdo.
I cannot help it. The last thought goes with Henry James and his book (and Billy Wilder's film too).
No puedo evitar que el último pensamiento vaya con Henry James y su libro (y la película de Billy Wilder también).
pourquoi les français ne mangent-ils jamais de glace quand il neige? c'est pourtant si bon…

ReplyDeleteI alway wear a hat in the summer- in fact I am looking for a new one! Sounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteYummy. Ice cream soda sounds awesome right now.
ReplyDeleteJane, the hat I bought, according to Wikipedia is a flat cap. Not very different to the first one featured in the article. Mine is prettier though :-)

This post, and its photos, remind me of the Italian New Wave movies; the atmosphere is just like that!
ReplyDelete¡ Y mira que Henry James me resulta difícil describiendo la personalidad de sus personajes !
ReplyDeletePet, veo que te vas haciendo con un público mayoritariamente angloparlante. ;-)
