My mom’s friend, Mami, was able to put up with us while we’re here in NYC. She’s so nice.

Little Bit and I went to a laundromat as all her clothes were dirty. She didn’t want to do laundry in Santo Domingo. The laundromat was just several blocks away.

Last night Mami took us in her car to see all the city lights, it was so nice. This morning we went downtown by train, I’m not used to take trains and get overwhelmed easily but my sister told me exactly where to go which was not far from the house, just about 8 minutes walk. Then I had to figure out how to pay, I asked someone but he was not very helpful, some nice delivery guy who was there told me that I can use my bank card. We transferred trains and got to time square. We had lots of fun although it was raining at first.

Now we’re at the airport waiting, the plane leaves at 9pm. We paid for the suitcases from Santo Domingo and had to pay again today. Not right. Not my fault that the flight was cancelled, right? So many things that I can complain about. The other frustrating thing is that there are so many rude employees at LaGuardia airport, also at JFK.

The plane going to Memphis just got here so that’s good. We’ll be boarding in a little while.

If that doesn't scream LGA in the 80s nothing does.

El Sotillo Trikuharria Burial Chamber/Dolmen of San Martín, Spain

The dolmen of San Martín is a dolmen located next to the N-232a road, at kilometer point 63, which connects the town of Laguardia with Leza, in the Alava region of Rioja Alavesa in the Basque Country (Spain). It is considered one of the oldest constructions found in the world.

It is a corridor dolmen covered with flat slabs and burial chamber. All this surrounded by a circular tumulus of earth and stones that has been damaged by the farm. A special feature of this dolmen is the dual use that has occurred in two different eras. The monument was erected at the end of the Neolithic on a small hill that had a sacred character for the community. It suffered the fall of two of the slabs that made up the burial chamber at the end of the Neolithic early Chalcolithic and continued to be used until the end of the Chalcolithic or beginning of the Bronze Age. On the dolmen, leaning on the slabs of the dolmen chamber, a hut or guardaviñas has been built, which takes advantage of stones from the tumulus itself.

It was declared cultural assets in the category of monument and obtained the degree of protection of qualified by Decree 183/2011, of July 26, 2011 along with the other dolmens that make up the "Set of monuments" of the dolmens of the lowlands of the Historical Territory of Álava.

The burial chamber is polygonal formed by 10 large sandstone slabs. They have dimensions of 5.75 meters by 3.10 meters and a maximum height of 1.90 meters. The corridor has a length of almost 5 meters and a width of 1.20 meters with a height of 1.30 meters. It was covered with slabs and maintains one of them. In one of the five large slabs that form it there is a series of holes or bowls typical of megalithism art.1The tumulus, of stone and earth, has dimensions of 26 by 14 meters and a height of 2.15 meters, its northern part has disappeared having been damaged by the agricultural work of the field where it is located. It is estimated that the tumulus had a cover of white limestone from the nearby Sierra de Cantabria, the hypothesis is based on the fact that there are still stones of that type in the tumulus and in the salvaviñas hut that has been built on the dolmen supported on the orthostats of the northwest of the chamber.

Cheating on Amtrak

Notes on some atypical travel along the Northeast Corridor.

I did something Wednesday that I used to scoff at: I went from Washington to New York via plane, not train. Then I opted for the same mode of travel to get from NYC to Boston, another route on which door-to-door travel times can be shorter by rail than air. I feel a little dirty about those less-than-green travel choices, but I had my reasons this time. Cost was foremost among them. Amtrak…

"Mayor Defends His Jail Labor," New York Daily News. October 1, 1943. Page 21. ---- The city now is employing prison labor in city hospitals at a dollar a day, Mayor LaGuardia disclosed yesterday in an address before the Rotary Club at the Hotel Commodore. The prisoner-laborers, number not disclosed, formerly were employed in the laundry, soap factory, chicken farm and tree nursery at Rikers Island, the Mayor said, adding: "We try to sweat some of the sin out of them!"

The mayor said he took the hospital employment step, which he characterized as perfectly legal, to alleviate manpower shortages in institutions which have "units aggregating 20,000 beds."
