Congrats on finishing an amazing tour with both of you still alive. Your photos of Ellis Island remind me of the FIVE HOURS I spent there in 2004 waiting for my dear father to have his fill of what the family now lovingly terms 'history shite'. Having a look at my bookshelf, I fear I may be destined to the same fate.. Have never done NYC any later than November so it's an interesting look at it through your lens. How did they let ye plundering international terrorists into the U.N.? Will miss the blogs!
