A Day in New York City

To add to our excitement of being in New York, my cousin, Christopher, and his family invited us to their home for the evening so Lee and I took the opportunity to go into the city for the day to see the sights before meeting them.  We did a lot of walking and figured out the subway system, trying to look like we knew what we were doing!

WE CAUGHT THE AMTRAK FROM OUR MARINA FOR THE ONE HOUR RIDE INTO NYC

ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER, A SOMBER SIGHT

GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL.  THE OLDEST BUSINESS IN THIS BUILDING IS THE OYSTER BAR WHICH FIRST OPENED ITS DOORS THE SAME YEAR AS THE TERMINAL ITSELF IN 1913
