Well, we're back! I have to say I had a good time although I have
come to the conclusion that I would never want to live there. Might crazy place and I cannot imagine ever trying to drive there. They make
their own lanes even though the lanes are clearly marked and pass so close that you think they are going to hit but they don't. It's nuts! I spent half the time in the taxis with my eyes closed. Auuggghhhh!!! We went to a lot of neat places...typical tourist traps most of them: the Eiffel Tower, the Natural Museum of History, the MOMA, Times Square, the Statue of
Liberty. We got lost in
Central Park. That sucked! We took the subway almost everywhere. You could get anywhere fairly quickly no matter the time of day. It was nice to be able to just hop on and go and not have to worry about parking or anything else. Although I thinked we walked a lot more than normal because now my foot hurts. We went shopping on fifth avenue and no, I didn't buy anything. I
couldn't justify spending $675.00 on a t-shirt. :o) We went to Ground Zero....part of the buildings are still there but not much. There is a big hole in the ground now and lots of construction going on. It was sad...and yet held hope for the future. We went to a New York Yankee ballgame which I am disappointed to say they lost to Baltimore 6-5. Major bummer! Still it was my first and probably only game at Yankee Stadium. I have to say though, that I was disappointed with the stadium. It was just a
normal stadium like every other one I had been in and I guess I just expected more than that. Pictures! Pictures!
