Greetings from New York!

Yesterday, Bill took me to The City, aka Manhattan. I imagined King Kong swinging from the spire at the top of the Empire State Building as we drove by.

That's the Brooklyn Bridge behind me, and deeper in the background is the Manhattan Bridge.



Here is Bill and his family. Pete, who's almost 14, and nearly grown, was gracious enough to wear the Indian's hat I had sent to Bill last year. Well, he wore it until we visited The Yankee's Store. After that, Chief Wahoo got stuffed in a pocket and Pete sported a newer Yankee hat. His wife Beth is a real sweetheart. These were taken at the South Street Seaport, which is on the East River.

We spent some time enjoying the sun and view, then headed to The Village for something to eat, and drink. The Pour House was packed, but we found seats at Around the Clock. We visited St. Marks place, then stopped at Veniero's bakery for some cannoli before going home.
