Writers, sketchers, teahouses, and leaves

A chilly, overcast morning and already the fingers were cold. The Famous Authors Sketch Tour began at 1 Washington Square North.

We were okay until the cold began to affect our fingers. And everything else. So off we went in search of a warm place to rest for a while. Suma spotted this spot, and we ended up staying a few busy hours.

We each had a mug of tea, with a supplementary pot of hot water. 
Paper bags were wrapped around each lightbulb in the place.
A quirky touch, if rather alarming. 
Other patrons came and went, and others stayed for a while.

And then it was off again to continue our tour and brave the cold.

I hope to see many of you again next time!
