Apres ma revue gastronomique de la semaine derniere, je vqis vous faire un peu visiter new york. Voila un petit résumé de ma semaine "touristique" à New York. Vraiment tres touristique. Lundi : j'ai attaqué avec un grand classique, la statue de la liberté et Ellis Island, très bien. Mais j'avais oublié mon appareil photo ! mais bon vous savez a quoi ca ressemble quand même... Ellis Island etait vraiment pas mal, parcontre la queue de une heure .... Pas terrible. Et les américains ont tellement peur d'une attaque terroriste sur leur Liberty Island que la sécurité est digne d'un aéroport avec fouille, obligé d'enlever ses chaussures.... Completement fou. Mardi : On est allées: visiter l'esposition "the Bodies". C'est une expo sur le corps humain, où l'on peut voir tout le corps humain sous toutes ... read more

OD A very long day yesterday was for us. After deciding to come off the trail, we went to Culperer, VA, and jumped on a train that departed within an hour of our showing up at the station. While at the station we called "Manhattan Bear Slayer" to see if we could spend a night at his place as the train arrived too late to connect with anything headed to upstate. He was delighted to hear from us and graciously opened his home to us. We arrived in Penn Station at 11:30PM to see him standing on the platform waiting on us. He carried CC's pack for her and we walked the three blocks to his apartment. His wonderful wife was there waiting with a delicious dinner for us, then a warm bed. This morning ... read more

Travel to IstanbulJoel SchroederI left from LAX last night just a bit before midnight and landed at JFK around 8am, beginning a long day of waiting...our flight to Istanbul departs at 6:45pm. Rick and Kathy, the rest of the crew, were delayed out of Portland and got in at 10am. We went to a nearby Howard Johnson hotel to relax in a room since we've got so much time. Luckily, our hotel in Istanbul will be much nicer, as we have rooms at the Four Seasons. Back at the airport, we were able to hang out in the Korean Air executive lounge, which was nice because of the drinks, snacks, and internet. We won't land until about noon on Tuesday, Istanbul time.... read more

However, the end is in sight and thanks to Emily it's now easier to get online and add some info and photos.
