Brasil in the Cold

I was asked a few days ago whether I would be going to the flower show, to which I replied that I would not.  But little did I realize that it was not the orchid show at the botanical garden which she had referred to, but rather the more normal annual Macy's Flower Show, which we have been going to for the past few years without fail.  Well, being in the neighborhood yesterday for the nonsense which made up the tragic content of the previous post, of course I had to stand in line and wait.  Stand in line, you ask?  Yes, for the very reason that some of the first floor which is normally given over to the flower show is under renovation, and so they constructed a rather large tent outside in which to walk through.

It was a rather strange experience in that its theme was Brasil, but the weather outside and inside- rather cold and gloomy- seeped inside, and for some reason (perhaps my nose was acting up?) there was not the scent of florals in the air despite being surrounded by them.  Of course, I have to give a mention to the many people who were there, lined up and snapping the usual photographs (and not using their eyes), and I suggest that if you want to drop by, to do so on a weekday (non lunch time) afternoon.
