We had a great day. We started off walking up Broadway, along the edge of Central Park, up to the Natural History Museum.
With dinosaurs!!!
Plenty of dinosaurs!
After the Natural History Museum and a late lunch, we paused at our hotel, then went to the Empire State Building. We splurged for going all the way to the 102nd floor (there is an observatory on merely the 86th floor). It was a fabulous view of the city at twilight.
We stayed through sunset, and were able to spot Times square near our hotel. From this enormous height it looked tiny.
And for our concerned fans, we are following the situation with Hurricane Irene closely. Sunday will probably be a washout, so to speak; the only question is, will we have to evacuate? Not clear yet. We will play it by ear. Stay tuned.
