What a whirl-wind trip we had last week! I must have walked the entire island of Manhattan (and beyond!) I feel like I could use a new left knee and possibly some reinforcement to my right ankle. I did not take nearly as many photos as I would have liked but it was raining for some of the time and I really couldn't capture all the art deco details and examples that I enjoyed seeing without turning Japanese. Although I still managed to capture some other lovely images around different areas. Interestingly, the feature presentation of New York was not its iconic buildings, stunning skyline or buzzing city life; but the friendliness and warmth of New Yorkers that was its finest attribute....
