We are in the Big Apple. Went on a Circle Line Cruise today, 3 hrs around Manhattan. Wonderful sights, although the northern end was a bit boring. Hopefully, took some great shots of Ellis Islland and Statue of Liberty, and all the major buildings along the way. Walked down to Grand Central station and the Chrysler building this afternoon. The blocks between the avenues which run north and south are huge, and are short between the streets which run east west. On the way back we went to Times Square and took a photo of us on the big screen. Hope it worked OK. We then went to Bubba GumpShrimp in Times Square for dinner. Very nice. I now know how Forrest Gump made most of his money. Tomorrow we are going to organise the all loops tours, and will stop and go up the Empire State building. We will probably do all the rides, and decide where to get off for the next day. Back to the hotel for a few beers and sleep.
