March 26, 2006 - New York City!!!

We were up and on the go early. We all headed for the bus about 8:30am and arrived in NYC just before noon. Our first thoughts, where do we start??? We headed for Times Square, it was unbelievable! This is something you have to see to believe. Huge billboards everywhere you look and tons and tons of people...I never seen the likes. We slowly walked around for awhile looking high in the air at the massive billboards and buildings then decided to head down to Rockerfeller Centre and St. Patricks Cathederal..
We had lunch at The Jekyll and Hyde Club That was an interesting experience. Then we walked to Central Park and took a horse and carriage through the park which was nice. We then decided to be very brave and head for the subway.

Took us awhile to figure things out but between Darlene and Michelle they got us going in the right direction. We wanted to go down and see Ground Zero. After a walk around down by the Ground Zero site we all decided we were starting to become quite weary and it was time to go back to Times Square. We stopped into a pastry shop to have some cheese cake and then it was back to the bus station.What a day...although we took pictures, they really don't capture the true picture of what we saw with our own eyes...the whole atmosphere of the city is sure something you have to actually experience in person, movies and pictures just can't capture it.
