Before
we talk about New York, this is a shot of Lake Calhoun. Close to where I work
and live, and where I do most of my rollerblading. Comparable to Centennial Park in
size and with awesome scenery - where sunglasses are mandatory.
The
Big Apple with the lovely Statue in the background.
James
Miller - travel buddy for the weekend. We were staying with Linn who did not make it
out that afternoon.
A
'busker' outside the Metropolitan Museum. I would love to have gone inside, but we
did not have time to do it justice.
The
Gugenheim opposite Central Park. There are a few Gugenheim galleries in NY, but this
is The One. Of the hundreds of paintings that I saw (Dali's and Picasso's just
everywhere) I saw one Australian painting, which made me very happy. (The name of
the painter eludes me at this time, but it wasn't a name that Michael Philistine
Adcock was familiar with.
Times
Square. A very busy place. I do not understand the attraction of the place,
but it's a Mecca.
Entrance to the Empire State Building with James Miller
Looking north over Manhattan
Looking south over Manhattan
The
boys on the 86th floor. There is a higher viewing location, but it is enclosed and
was closed on the day. This was the place to be.
Change
of scenery. This was where I stayed on one of my trips to Boston. It's about
20 miles south. I wanted to stay 'downtown,' but the appropriate hotels were full,
so I stayed near to our local guy, so we could spend some quality time talking in the car
on the way in to the meetings.
Charles Street Prison, Boston. Owned by the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Working with the security team, we were able to get a private tour. It is not open
to the public. It only closed about 5 years ago. Can you imagine? I
thought these types of places were shut/upgraded 20 years ago.
Cell
13. Lots of bars, lots of bricks. Lot's of cell mates.... I take back comments
about the hotels I have stayed in.
