Gotham City: Part VI


Thursday we went to Central Park to see the leaves that had changed color. And it was beautiful. We rode in one of the horse-drawn carriages thru a part of the park near the south-east corner. Later we went to The Pond to take several photos.

We walked to Rockefeller Center and shopped a little in the NBC store. They're still living off of Seinfeld and Friends. Hardly any of their other programs have any merchandise on display.

While at Rockefeller Center we decided to take the 1 train down to the Staten Island Ferry and go over to Staten Island to see what's there. The ferry trip takes about 45 minutes which is longer than I expected. We went past the Statue of Liberty both at dusk and then at night. What a sight.

We got to Staten Island, but there's not a whole lot near the ferry port. Eventually we found a diner where we ate dinner. We walked back to the ferry and timed how long it would take to go from Staten Island to our hotel in Queens. It takes one and a half hours. Hell, that's about how long it takes to drive from Austin to Waco!
