Day 2 of the Big Apple

Sunday our tour guide Suzie took us out for a day on the town.









First we hopped on the subway and took it Grand Central station- Thanks to Jackie-O they refirbushed the building instead of tearing it down. (My camera really doesn't take good indoor shots- but hopefully you can get the idea it is a very cool building)




















This is an action shot of everyone hustling & bustling.



Since there are no Dunkin' Donuts in California, we had to make a donut run for breakfast. Here is Michael and Suzie enjoying their breakfast at the park.







Next we went to a museum on photography. My favorite was the tintype which are one of the first type of fun photography. (no camera's allowed in the museum so I googled this one)




Then we decided to take a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. I really enjoyed this. The weather was great, crisp but not cold. Michael and I both got a kick out of wearing scarfs. I like the action shot of Suzie & I walking.














I also had fun taking some artsy shots of the bridge (so bear with me)








I think this one is my favorite:





and then we took the subway back to Suzie's home for some NY flat pizza!






as a side note, Suzie, who's Indian name is Overconfident Navigator did a great job all day- except for maybe not taking the right exit off the bridge and we had to settle for milkshakes instead of the bar she promised me as a reward for walking so much all day!

I know - I wanted to go to that bar too! Darn that faulty navigating gene! I was pretty proud of myself for the rest of the day, though!
