    Thought I'd post a few of these since I was asked about sightseeing while in NYC. This is a mere fraction of the pics I took... I can bore y'all for a long, long time. :)

    Sunrise over Manhattan from my hotel room in NJ on our first morning there -- we arrived around 5:30 a.m. on Monday.

    Just before boarding the boat for the harbor cruise.

  8. Thank you very much. I grew up in Jersey just outside NYC. I kind of miss the city from time to time.

    Everyone needs to experience that town at least once!

    Hope everyone had as good a time as it looks like you did.

    Thanks, y'all. My camera is just a little Canon Powershot, nothing fancy, but it takes pretty decent pics.


    Now, can anyone tell me what some of these pics are? Remember now that we rode a bus all night (as in practically ZERO sleep) and were on the boat for our harbor cruise by 10:00 a.m. the next morning. Very fuzzy brained when I took the pics and for the life of me I can't remember what some of places I shot are. :?


    #1 No idea, just thought it was interesting. I do know it isn't Ellis Island like DH thought it may have been.

    #2 (I *think* the tour guide may have said the arch was over a doorway to a holocaust museum or memorial - :confused: )
    [​IMG]

    # 3 No clue, just liked the way it looked.
    [​IMG]

    #4 Trump's newest building - ? - I couldn't tell which building he was talking about when he was talking about the Donald's newest tower. :oops:
    [​IMG]

    #5 The concrete and tree area -- A 9/11 victims' memorial? I've looked everywhere trying to make sure that's what this is but can't find anything like it. I'm thinking he said the concrete slabs hold the names of all the victims. :?
