Our last day in NYC we started on the Upper West side where our hotel was. We mostly just did the bus tour, and not much walking. It was actually raining, so it was nice to just sit and enjoy the cool air.
The one place we did get off was at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. One of the largest Cathedral’s in the America’s. Having rarely been to a church outside of my own religion I found it fascinating. What a beautiful building. It made me wish I had more knowledge of how they actually used it with all their adjacent chapels and such, but it was enjoyable just walking around and exploring on our own.
If you couldn’t tell, I think there was a smudge on my camera lens. Can I tell you how mad I am at myself?
I believe this was the pulpit, or at least one of them.
Looking down the main area…see my ignorance, I don’t even know what you would call this.
We couldn’t decide if this was an actual tomb, or just a monument to someone.
After going up through Harlem we stopped off at the Conservancy Garden on the East side of Central Park.
I enjoyed this garden much more than Central Park. In fact I recognized some areas from famous photographs.
Now I wish I made Dan take off his hat and glasses more. What a great way to remember him?
Now it was time to head south to Chinatown to get some food and shopping done.
I loved Chinatown at first. Then, after walking street after street, I just felt like I was back in Tijuana. Not my favorite place. The fish market street threw me over the edge. I hate the smell! Dan just sat back and enjoyed the memories of the Philippines. Urine and fish…what a combination.
One of the few buildings I actually wanted to go inside. Grand Central Station. Amazing! It was beautiful.
One more pic from our day.
This was the view from our hotel room. It is Columbus Park which is on the north side of the American Natural History Museum (Night at the Museum). I loved the view. Only problem with the room…when our A/C froze up the 2nd day and we had no air coming in that night. Awful! We had complained about it, but they didn’t have anyone come until the next morning. Luckily we were rarely there, so we weren’t too uncomfortable.
Can’t believe the 1st leg of our trip is over. On to Rochester.
