Harvard Club

New York having stayed previously at The University Club
this time I moved along 5th Avenue to The Harvard Club
which in many ways prefer..it smaller but its Hall where one can sit for morning coffee
read the Wall Street Journal and instead of reading NewYork Times online as I do every dayI can scroll my way
through the bulky paper
The Harvard Club appears to live in its own
world as I found when I live in Oxford and spoke there at The University Club
It is a world which I like.. one week I met John Byrne Cooke son of Alistair, also well known in
England for his 'Letter from America' spoken each week on the BBC...another week a man based in the Gulf
who had very different experiences from my own visits to that part of the world
I love New York...I even bought a Tee shirt..not for me
and never tire of walking the length of 5th Avenue going off to Madison Avenue to The Pierre, Saint Regis
and the old Plaza has changed, but much else remains the same........
hope to return soon
