New York



the Skyline form the Staten Island Ferry






the kids and I in front of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Staen Isand Ferry



Mark Hannah and Jacob at the South Sea Port, where we had luch before going to Staten Island for a free trip pas the Statue of Liberty





We had the best tour of New York today...6 hours, with a young guy at the "on Board" tour company.. He was so interesting, and it was small enough that he could answer questions.



this is Wall St, the Stock Exchange, with the pillars decked in lights to resemble the flag
















I liked the look of this fellow.. He was so so serios, and already getting annoyed at the people blocking his way, and he was about 200 feet away




this is the Rockerfeller cenre. so much smaller than I imagined!










It was so cold! so so cold, but we wont keep on about that because we knew how cold it was going to be, didnt we?





















We met up with Greg(from Abu Dhabi) today, for breakfast. He has been living here for 10 years.









he is also camera shy.. This is the best we got









he walked with us down to Times Square, where we were meeting the tour bus..and took a family pic
the kids went inot the M&M's shop. 2 levels huge shop, all M&Ms and merchandise...
