New York, New York 12-06-10

 We flew into New York on our way back from Europe and we stayed here at the Seafarers Inn.
As most people in New York do, we walked most everywhere we went. 
We made a stop at Grand Central Station. 
 Lynda is admiring the interior of the station.
The Christmas tree and ice skaters at Rockefeller Plaza. 
 We took a city tour and visited the Dakota building where John Lennon used to live.
 This is the entrance way where he was murdered, a very sad day in music history.
Our tour took us to Central Park where we visited the portion of the park dedicated to John Lennon. 
Lynda is checking out the imagine mural next to our tour guide. 
 A plaque dedicated to John Lennon's quest for world peace.
Central Park in the winter! 
Oh my gosh....Lynda has the Empire State Building growing out of her head! 
As part of our tour we took a harbor cruise.  This is a view of Wall Street with the new building going up at Ground Zero. 
 Another view of the harbor.
The number of sky scrapers in this city is amazing. 
 Can't visit New York without going to the Statue of Liberty.
 One of the highlights of our trip to New York was to see the Statute of Liberty, but it was so cold and we were freezing.
A view of the bridges cosssing the Husdon from our boat. 
 The New York Stock Exchange at night.
 This was our first trip to New York and we were constantly amazed by all the sky scrapers.
 Another building on Wall Street.
 The new building going up on the site where the twin towers once stood.
We visited Times Square and the line to get in to see David Letterman was around the block. 
 Times Square at night is quite a sight.
Lynda and our friend Lori, who grew up in Tallahassee and now lives in the Big Apple. 
 Another view of Times Square.
 Of course you know I would find a police station there!
One of the Christmas displays in the windows of Macys.

That's neat that you got to see Lori while you were there. :)
