We were so HOT for SO LONG!!! It has been beautiful here for the last several days now. We've gotten to get out of town and go to Lisa's old family lake in Connecticut, I've gotten to hang with the boys, and we've seen more museums. But before that, we had a few other adventures...Let's go to the pictures...
 |
| Under the Arch (look close, it's big) at Washington Square Park in the Village. |
 |
| Keeping cool at Washington Square. |
 |
| Hot again on The Bowery, looking through to the Williamsburg Bridge. |
 |
| Getting our Hebrew on at the Eldridge Street Synagogue. |
 |
| Heading to the cool (but trash-filled) waters of Pelham Bay Park in da Bronx. |
 |
| Long Island Sound will get you chilled out fast. Don't mind the Po-lice everywhere. |
 |
| Which one is the Strongman? |
 |
| Why would they even walk together?.... Unless, the stormtrooper is Luke in disguise! And what's in the bag Chewie? Just a regular day in Times Square.... |
 |
| OK, see the circle sign hanging up? The table under it is where Sally (whom Harry Met), um,... "enjoyed" her sandwich at Katz's Deli. |
 |
| Outside historic Katz's on Houston St. Their pastrami is almost as famous as Sally's outburst. And the sandwich is ONLY $17!.... |
 |
| Return trip to the big Library, what is this thing attached to the cord? |
 |
| Out the window in one of the reading rooms in the amazing library. |
 |
| One of these is the King of the Jungle. |
 |
| Sure it's just a book, but it happens to be one of the less than 50 surviving copies of the original Gutenberg Bibles. Almost as impressive as the original Tigger in the library's collection. |
 |
| Fresh Air!.. Times Square! |
 |
| Craziest rainstorm ever to hit a baseball game. We're all in new (dry) Brooklyn Cyclones shirts as the rest of the cold front hits Coney Island. |
 |
| Uncle Eddie came back to town to take us around the northwestern end of Manhattan. Riverside Church may be one of the most impressive cathedrals I've ever seen. |
 |
| Outside Riverside, those are some tall saints.... |
 |
| That's Savannah at the entrance to Grant's Tomb, across from Riverside. |
 |
| Funky benches outside Grant's |
 |
| Still warm enough for Spongebob pops... |
 |
| The Cathedral tour continues (note the excitement in the children). This is St. John the Divine beside Columbia University where they just had Tony Soprano's funeral. |
 |
| Library on the surprisingly awesome Ivy League campus of Columbia. |
 |
| Quiet little path down to the lighthouse under the George Washington Bridge. |
 |
| See ya next time.... |
