we stopped at the hospital to visit my host dad’s 87-year-old mother, who is still in great shape i may add, and then went to the grocery store, had dinner and i again retired to bed early. nearby transportation include the 2, 3, 4, 5, a, c, b, d, g, n, q, r, s subway lines. i like getting out of the house whenever possible, whether it’s heading into the city for a concert or just eating at a restaurant down the block.
