Well, it was another full day of uptown tourism with my Peeps©!

We started our afternoon at the Trinity Cemetery, a former Revolutionary War battleground (there’s a marker for the Middle Redoubt, where occurred “some of the fiercest fighting of the battle of Washington Heights”) and now “home” to the remains of Ralph Ellison and Jerry Orbach, whose remains were hard to find among hundreds of similarly-faced above-ground crypts.

I had an interesting afternoon touring uptown with my visiting peeps!

First we checked out the Harlem waterfront from the Sherman Creek street-end parks (this is the one at W. 203rd St.). We were going to do a little kayaking, but at the last minute they chickened out (“chicked out”?) b/c they were afraid of melting. But they admired the view of Fordham across the river.
