Here are a couple more shots from the NYC trip. Mary and I have always loved Prince- here we are with him at the wax museum. Kerri and I visited Mary there in September 2007. We saw many of the sites, including St. Patrick's cathedral, Central Park, the Empire State Building, Time Square, West Point, Ground Zero, and rode the Staten Island Ferry. We also found some great fashion bargains, and will not forget the locals with their stands of knock-off bags yelling "Coach, Gucci, Prada!!" in their accents. Kerri got a great (and I think authentic) Coach bag...we only had to do some back-alley apartment dealing that made me a bit nervous. But the anxiety lessened some when we saw grannies doing the same wheeling and dealing to get a good deal on a designer bag. We also went to a comedy show, and had a guided tour from an animated native of Harlem. We did as much as we could fit in the time that we had! Riding the trains and subways was an adventure in itself for those of us not familiar with the big city transportation. The food was fantastic -- the New Yorkers are serious about their bagels and cream cheese and cheesecake. Good thing we had to walk nearly everywhere we went to burn off some of the calories!
