NYC #2

More of central park.
This was St. Peters church ( I think).  It was kinda weird. People were allowed inside to tour but they were holding mass.  It felt really weird to be in there.  I only took 2 pictures.
Then we were beat and my sister and I went back to the hotel.  Stephanie and her cousin went on there own.
Yes the wax museum of famous people.  I dont know the real name.
The next morning we got up early and went to CBS.
We watched the "Sunday Morning" show.  Most of it is taped and this guy comes in and does all the short segments. It was interesting to see how they piece it all together. Then at the end he had to wait because they had to shorten the end . The regular station show ran over so they fix that by adjusting his time on the air.
After that we went to the Statue of Liberty.  It was a really long wait.  The security to get on the ferry  was worse then the airport. Anything with metal had to be taken off and put thur the machine.  Even then, some people had to patted down.  Not us , thank goodness.





We went to China town next. I dont have any pictures of that.  Then the trip was over. Well, except the the scary ride in the cab to the airport.  The cab driver was a manic.

NYC 1st post.

Let just say it was exhausting!!  I cant even begin to tell you how much my legs and feet hurt.  We walked and took the subway everywhere.   The first day we went to  ground zero but you cant really see much because of all the fencing. Plus they are putting up the new building.  But then someone had to find a restroom and we went inside this cool building.
 

Inside was really neat but I just couldnt get a good shot.
Once inside you went up these steps and you could look out the window to ground zero.
There was also can art all around the inside of this building/mall.
I couldnt see the designs at first. Then my sister said look at it through your camera.  And that worked and you could see the designs.  Funny.
Then it started getting dark.
 After some shopping, where I didnt buy anything.  It might be a great deal it was still a 100.00 purse. Im not spending a 100.00 dollars on something that isnt dog related. LOL
So then we went back to our hotel and got ready to do see .....

Great show and funny.  There were a couple of time where Sean Hayes did some funny mannerisms and then Kristin Chenoweth would try not to laugh. She would have  her head down or turned but then you could see her shoulders shaking.  It was funny.  There were a couple of unplanned funny things that happened.  Thats always entertaining.
The next morning we went to Radio City and saw the Rockettes Christmas show.
It was a very nice show.  They did some 3-D stuff that was really neat.  Then they did this thing with a bus. The bus was real but the drive through the city was using a background. It looked almost real.  I dont know, its  hard to describe.   Then we went to Central Park.  Wow,was that a crowed place.   People everywhere. I just cant describe how many people were there.  Not like in the movies.
More tomorrow.
