Wednesday in NYC

KR got up early and ate the Chinese food before I even stirred.  I ate a little cottage cheese and we went down to Starbuck for coffee and took a Via (like Uber) to go down to Battery Park.  The guys name was Sam, and from Nepal.  The traffic was terrible and it took us well over half hour.  We planned this last night and thought we would ride back.

We got a bike and went to World Trade Center Twin Tower memorial, and had a look see.  Then we got on another bike and started riding back north, via the Hudson River.  At the West End road and the River, we could not get the kiosk to work, so we called Citibike people, as we had half hour to get from Hudson to the other side of the park to the hospital.  Christian of Citibike was able to read the code over the phone to us and we unlocked and peddled furiously to get to Sergei.  We got there all sweaty with 10 minutes to spare.

Sergei had me started with up lines to get rid of the neck strain I was having, and then more of CHAIR going to right, than the reverse.  I had thought that riding for less than half hour would make me dizzier, but today was over an hour ride and I was still a bit dizzy.

We did the lines going with a spot of black paper.  We did red dot in black room with chair spinning.  We did fast spinning, and slow spinning.  I just can't remember which works better.

After we went to M Market and bought a pastrami sandwich for KR and buffet food for me, that included roasted beef, orange chicken, plantains three slices, two Brussel sprouts, and one piece of tofu.  We sat across from the hospital and had a nice lunch.  After that we got another bike and rode back slowly towards home.

We were so hot and sticky, as it was 88 degrees today.  Took a shower and rested.  I got online and tried to get tickets to the show tonight.  They were too expensive, so we just decided to go down to the theatre and see if we can get them.  We left via Citibike about 6 30 and got there at 7 and YES YES YES, we got really nice seats Row J for 99 dollars each.  No service fees. 

Phantom of the Opera was great.  I have always wanted to see it.  I had no issue with the play but during intermission, I got really dizzy.  So I think the issue is noise in an enclosed space with lots of people talking.  I had no problem with the opera, even when the orchestra was loud.  So I think my of my trigger is enclosed space with lots of noises/voices.  When we were done, after 10, I told KR no more riding home, so we took a Via, group ride, home.  Cost about 10 bucks for two.  And rode in a Mercedes Tetris, which is like a Mercedes van.
