New York City








With the help of our GPS street finder we made it into Jersey City where our camping spot was across the harbour from Manhattan, with a view from our motorhome of the Statue of Liberty. How cool is that?!

On the afternoon of our first day we took the subway (the 'path') to the Empire State Building. With many others we made our way to the top, squeezing between the crowds for views of the city. Sometimes a pigeon would block our view, sitting on the wall at eye-level hoping for snacks from the tourists. The views were pretty cool once the pigeon moved. I kept thinking of that movie, 'Sleepless In Seattle'. I love that movie. I thought it was great to be in New York, it's one of those places on my mental list of places I've always wanted to see. Kyra was less enthralled, she said it was just a city. Oh well, can't win them all!
