#4 Day 2 continued

Central Park continued...

How much is this cutey pie enjoying her merry go round! It was a real live carosel with creepy music and everything...
Central Park on a Saturday is like Vancouver during the marathon...insane! You risked your life trying to cross the street. One local pointed out that nobody absolutely nobody has a yard or a quiet street that they can run on in Manhatten. So...this is where everbody absolutely everbody goes for a run on the weekend (they close the road to traffic on weekends). Crazy!

Classic stretch of elm trees along a long path known as 'The Mall' as seen in hundreds of films...

OK this is not a shot I am proud of. But man this is the real thing! A real Central Park old school roller skater!! Yes, I said 'skate' not blade. Look at Danis face...pure distaste.




Love this little outdoor amplitheater...I can picture Shakespeare in summer...



WOW. Just look at this ceiling! And this is underneith a walkway in the park! The best part was the heavenly songs that came from beneith...



This family had a gift. The gift of song. It was hypnotic. Their voices drew us all in under the walkway to experience the beauty. All in synch...gospel with the most heavenly acoustics you could imagine...I wish I picked up their cd...

Another classic Central Park shot of the pond where everyone goes to row those little boats. Cheese!




Meters from where John Lennon was assasinated lay this simple memorial in the park. Fresh flowers and a crowd of visitors left me with an intense feeling...this was a great man.



And now...into the MET! Metropolitan Museum of Art to those who are in the know...



And on the rooftop their was a show...






And inside there was endless masterpieces...



A rest on the step after a loooong day of walking...


More to come...wait for day 3!

NY Update #3

On day 2 we got up early and took off for Central Park & the MET (after sipping on NY lattes and nibbling NY bagels with NY creamcheese in our sweet little NY apartment/suite) . It was to be a big day of walking. We walked until we thought our legs would fall off.
Here the girls are heading underground for their first subway ride ever...

I love this next shot in sepia...so NY!

And like WOW! This is what we were greeted with when we exited the underground at Central Park! The perfect photo op! I LOVE this shot and can't wait to blow it up for my wall...Classic Central Park pigeons with runners stretching in the background...who could resist?

More coming right away...
