Last of the Big Apple

Already a week and a half has flown by since we were on the east coast.  We have been working from dawn 'til dark, and dawn comes awfully early and dark awfully late these day!

Sunday morning we took another quick tour of New York City, this time with Paul at the tour guide helm.  He had a very ambitious itinerary, which he was confident we could accomplish.  Needless to say, we didn't, but that's OK!  Now we know where to start the next time we go!

We drove past the UN building, several embassies, stopped by Grand Central Station and then caught the subway and rode for a few stops, saw a parade, got stuck in a traffic jam, walked around the Lincoln Center plaza, got a glimpse of the Empire State Building, and had the most wonderful lunch at a delightful French Bakery and Fromagerie.

Enjoy the last few images from a superb trip.....

Grand Central Station

Roni and David inside Grand Central.  Since it was a Sunday morning, there weren't very many people.

The Empire State Building.

The Parade.  This group was very interesting.  They had a percussion unit and several xylophones.  The musical selection ran from the Marlboro Man to the Chicken Dance!  We were all laughing our heads off!  Try to imagine, if you will, the chicken dance with percussion and xylophone, or better yet, the Marlboro Man theme!

I could live on food like this.  Definitely not farm fare!  It was SO good

On our way back to Boston we saw this interesting vehicle at a rest stop.  Made us feel like we were home again!

Speaking of home, it's always great to be back home, but what a fabulous adventure we had.  We could not have asked for better tour guides, bed/breakfast/lunch and dinner hosts.  Looking forward to repaying the hospitality that was shown to us.  Thank you Jean and Paul and everyone else that we had the pleasure to meet.
