We finally made it to Staten Island.
It took some coordinating, and almost didn’t happen due to a week of oppressive heat in New York City, but July 11th suddenly looked OK, and we decided to jump on the ferry to check out some places.
The combination of heat and the amount of time it took us to get there and get around, meant that we only went to two places rather than the planned three. The third could actually be an expedition in itself that we’ll do at some point in the future when the weather is cooler and walking around is a more reasonable prospect.
