Wanderings in New York

We are really tired from a long day in the city and so I am going to save my energy for later and just caption these pictures.  Since we are on an overnight to Europe tomorrow, it will essentially be a 2fer.  We saw a guy get hit by a cab in the city today.

 Home away from home, leaving the Stamford abode

 I think I see a flying buttress back there

Our walk from the subway to meet our Uncle Mark for lunch at his work 

at 55th and Madison

We cut through a building that house a gigantic Spiderman

 Giants, We ate lunch at a cuban spot that was really good

After lunch, we walked towards Central Park and the Apple store.  

All apple fanboys need to make one trip to the Manhattan store

in their lifetime, much like the Hajj, except with less stone throwing.

 Statue and Plaza Hotel, moments before setting off on a carriage ride.  If you look closely, you can see

Kristin negotiating with a carriage rider.  I was initially quite skeptical about a ride in this awful 

weather, but it was fun.

 See that guy on top of that hill?  Straight breaking it down, dancing like a fool

 Boo, all 5 layers of her

 NY

 Kristin trying to look natural 

 Frozen pond that Holden Caulfield pondered in Catcher in the Rye.  No ducks.

 Here we are trying to figure out what to do next.  I voted for Moma, Kristin for the WTC construction site, guess who won?

 Looking for a subway 

 WTC site, not incredibly exciting 

 sad little memorial

 We decided to head towards Wall St. and Tiffany and Co.

We went inside and they did not even treat us like homeless people!
