New York, part one

Santiago has been a good traveler though he doesn't like long walks through the city. Who blames him. Imagine Mid-town Manhattan at stroller (knee level). What a seemingly dangerous ride -- that's the level of briefcases, light cigarettes, bus exhaust.

"What is your favorite thing about New York, Santiago?"
"The subway."
What is your next favorite thing?"
"Um...another subway."

Besides the subway, Santiago has enjoyed laughing at the "teeny-weeny" buses seen from the observation deck of the Empire State Building, the carousels in Central and Bryant Parks, the bus at the Manhattan children's museum, the polar bear and puffins at the zoo in Central Park.
