NEW YORK NEW YORK!

Well we made it to NY and had a fabulous but exhausting time. We walked our socks off all week and managed to see all the famous sights. We saw a show on Broadway, took a yellow cab, rode on the subways, ate from deli's, street sellers and all night diners, and chatted to NY cops and complete strangers. We walked in Central Park, went to the Guggenheim, crossed the river on the Statton Island ferry (it was free!!!) We climbed the Empire State Building, (in the lift), visited the fabulous art deco Chrysler Building, Times Square, Maddison Square Gardens and Radio City. Whilst walking in Chinatown we came upon an Italian street festival. Shopping in Macys and Bloomingdales was fun and so were the many other shops we found, but for me the 3 hours I spent wandering in the fabric district was just mind blowing and I'd go again just for that! Seeing Ground Zero and the little church was very poignant and we spent a long time just reading many of the strories and letters from around the world. The photos are just a few from the hundreds we took, I thought I'd include the one of a rather ambitious menu we saw in a back street cafe, (we didn't try it!) I know Mark has been reporting on Joes Pub, so suffice to say that while he got his photos of Pete, I got a KISS from him ......
