We made it to New York


              CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF OUR TRIP TO NEW YOUR CITY

We left PA on Tuesday and got to Accord New York in good time and got all set up in a park called Rondout Valley. Got a nice site with lots of room and lots of trees.  Bristol likes it here as he likes to walk in the trees and climb some of them.
Yesterday we took a tour bus to New York City. There was no way I would want to drive around in there. Hell just to find a place to park would cost you around $50.00 for the day. We went with friends Randy and Stephanie from Texas that we had met on our travel up the coast. The bus took us to a ferry that takes you to the Statue of Liberty. That was great as you get to walk around the statue and read some about how it was built. We did not get to go up in the statue but on the ground was good enough. Then back on the ferry for a ride back but first a stop at Ellis Island but we didn't get off there. Next we drove to Grand Central Station for lunch and some walking around. Then to the Empire State Building where we took the elevator to the 80th floor. From there you can take another one to the 86th floor or walk to the 86th. I walked and the rest to the elevator. It sure is a great view from there of the city below. Then back on the bus to Time Square for some looking around. All  in all it was fun 12 hours and we sure did enjoy it. Some of the other thing we got to see were the new World Trade Center, the spot where the old Trade Center was, UN,  Rockefeller Center, 5th Ave that we drove on, and for course lets not forget the Naked Cowboy and Cowgirls.












Will post more later when we add the album to the last post.
