Weekend in Brooklyn -- or -- Cairo Goes to the Big City

We spent Saturday moving Clara to a new apartment -- on the same floor of the same building, thank goodness. It is a studio, her first apartment just for her -- no roommates!


Cairo came with us and was a nudge the entire time. Clara lives in a fourth floor walk up, so there are a lot of stairs when it is time to go out. He was so distraught about being out of his element that he couldn't manage to do what he was supposed to. He is definitely a country dog.  He was not too pleased when the subway roared by over our heads while we walked under the Manhattan Bridge.


I was strolling the streets of Brooklyn late at night and early in the morning, trying to get him to go. It was actually quite beautiful by the East River and our walk at 6:30 this morning lasted well over an hour.  We watched the sun come up and stopped for bagels to bring home.







Sorry for the picture quality -- I took them all on my iPhone and posted via Bloggers iPhone app.

Hi Sarah, I'm back checking out your blog this morning. I don't blame Cairo for being out of his elements in Brooklyn, I think that I would be too, although there are so much to see.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope that your daughter like her new apartment and adjust well to the faster pace.

Even though you used your iPhone, the pictures are beautiful. JB

Sarah,
I am glad that Clara is doing so well. She looks great in that photo in Rome. I really want to go to Jane's Carousel in Brooklyn and see the Jean Nouvel building.
