Sightseeing….
Picture
Johno is a Guggenheim Fellow, so has always wanted to visit the Guggenheim Museum
Picture
We went to ground zero soon after 9/11. So it was very emotional to return, and see the memorial. Despite the controversies, we feel they have ended up with a wonderful tribute to those who perished, as well as to those who continue to deal with the consequences of that horrendous event.
Picture
The symbolism is truly amazing.
Picture
We walked the Highline, a 2.33 mile “linear park" built on an elevated section of the disused southern portion of the train line running far into the Lower West Side of Manhattan.
Picture
The ice skating rink had just opened in Central Park, where preparations were well advanced for the New York Marathon which was held on the day we departed the city.
Picture
The Frick Collection, and the mansion which contained it, were both in the "not to be missed" category.
Picture
We visited both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Picture
What a skyline.
Picture
Times Square was a crazy place on Halloween.
With short transit stops in Denver and Los Angeles, it felt good to be home.

With short transit stops in Denver and Los Angeles, it sure felt good to be home.
