New York City

Driving a convertable through New York city is definitely the way to see the buildings. Although parking is hard to find....so using public transporation is probably the best way to see things. Here is time square in the day time.I took the Stanton Island Ferry from lower Manhattan to see the Statue of Liberty. Its FREE! It doesn't stop at the Statue of Liberty but goes quit close. I went at dusk, so I got to see it with the lights on the way back. Nice boat ride.
I went to the site of the World Trade Center. Very somber. Still no reconstruction. The area is barricaded off - but there are 2 viewing areas. People still are morning loved ones (roses and memorials left around the barricades). I decided that I wanted to go up the Empire State building. Here's a shot of the Empire State building at night:It was cool to see New York at night. Its expensive to go up (18.00 US) and so many people are lined up to use the elevators it took 1.5 hours going up and 1 hour going down. But, it was still good to do it once.
Time square at night. Cool lights.
George Washington bridge.
I picked up my friend Bret to join with me the rest of the journey.
