New York City

Brian's one wish on our way over to Russia, was to spend a day or two in New York City. I agreed, so a few months ago we made our plans. Two nights in NYC, and one full day wandering the city. AND man did we wander...I might not have warn the most comfortable of shoes (women tend to do that for fashion) and so my feet hurt after our first three hours of walking. But we had a great time...here are some pics.

On the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Island

The Statue of Liberty and Manhattan Island

This is Brian in the main hall where hundreds of immigrants would stand and sit waiting to get into America.

TIMES SQUARE!!
First, during the day time...


Okay, at this point we have probably walked for 4-5 hours total. My FEET hurt a ton!! So, walking through Central Park was wonderful, well let me rephrase that. Relaxing in this field was wonderful!

Just a few more pics from Central Park. Which is huge by the way. 843 acres, 2.5 miles long and 0.5 miles wide. Plus the trails weave in and out so you easily walk much more than that. 

Here is The Reservoir.  A massive body of water that has a running/walking track around it. 

And, our last stop: Times Square at night. 



We had to go into the Hershey store. YUM. But we didn't buy anything.
