Let's Look At Vacation Pictures!

Arch in Washington Square Park

Episcopal Church

Another view from the room.

Looking as far west as possible from north window of hotel.

My favorite of the photos I took.  Early morning, lights still on at the Chrysler Building.

Tiny reminders of a tiny guest past.  Guess housekeeping doesn't come in the mornings, or they'd have cleaned those off!

Ready for a day of sight seeing.  Need more coffee, though.

Patience. Or Fortitude.  Not sure which.

Another library lion shot.

Had a textbook with a version of this photo on it once...

The other lion.

Times Square area

Again, Times Square.

Our friends on the bus.

Us on the bus.

The old and the new.  Typical NYC juxtaposition.

Duane Reade stores.  They're EVERYWHERE.

Great view of the back of our friend Larry's head.

Bicicletas

The Museum of Photography, closed, but for some reason, there's a sailboat on the facade of the building...

Lunch in Chinatown.  Cashew chicken.

The whole group of us.  Matt included!

Bunch of tourists from Oklahoma.

So, there are at least some of the photos from our trip to New York.  I took a lot from the room, but my gosh, when the view is that good, who wouldn't?
I had a great time with our friends, and Matt and I plan to go back on our own one day.  We will take more time and have a more leisurely trip.  When we planned this, we mainly wanted to spend at least a little time with our friends visiting from Australia.  We did that, but we crammed in a lot of sight seeing, too.
Such a blessing to see an exciting new place with good friends.  Such a joy to finally meet some of them in person!  Sorry I missed the friends that arrived after we left.  We should have scheduled a later flight!

Looking forward to a chance to go back, to have a relaxing tour of a museum with our friend who lives in New Jersey, and a nice meal, and to do a lot of sight seeing on our own.  New York is too wonderful of a place to only nibble on.  We need time to feast.
