You can't make this up...


My favourite shot from Ellis Island

We arrived in New York City Monday, and it has been a whirlwind of firsts and adventures since our feet touched the train platform in New York Penn Station. I don’t think it has really sunk in yet that I am sitting in a condo in Manhattan and seeing all the sites that have only been in movies up until this point. It is quite an experience to say the least, and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Tuesday was a whirlwind of subways, ferries and sights that included the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Canal Street (whoot whoot for knock off items and “secret” back rooms), the outskirts of Little Italy, ground zero, and then the Staten Island ferry to see the skyline at night. Not bad for one day.

Tomorrow is the MET and Central Park. I love every minute of being here, and our condo is fantastic, and really close to all the major attractions.
