Here goes.... As always, click to make bigger
First off, I tried to go to the Statue of Liberty about 3 days in a row, but the place was just so full of tourists that I eventually couldn't go. SO instead I did an impromptu tour of a few filming locations...

There you go.
This is the house of the first American saint - Elizabeth Ann Seton - near Battery Park in New York City.
Quite nice that they've preserved it, especially next to these newer buildings!
Anyway, on to the Empire State Building....

| No sign of any monkeys trying to climb it... |

Grand Central Station....

| Not many people know it, but Grand Central Station's actual name is Grand Central Terminal... |
Grand Central Station was the setting for one of my favourite ever scenes
Flat Iron building:
A few photos from the roof of my hotel at night, during snow:
A few photos from the Rockerfeller Centre, which is famous for it's ice skating rink, a huge Christmas tree during the festive season and is surrounded by flags of the world...

There you go. Can't be bothered to add any more. Currently sitting at the airport waiting for my flight. Can't quite believe how quickly my time in America has gone! Sayingt hat though, I am definitely ready to come home. America is nice, but is just quite as exciting to me as Africa is. I've met some lovely people and had a great time, but I think my time in America is done for now. There's a few places I didn't get to go and a few things I didn't get to do, but then, America's going nowhere. Plenty of time to do that another time.
When I get home I think I'm going to start planning my next adventure... New Zealand here I come!!
Ian is home and so is all his washing.Lovely to have you home.We have enjoyed reading your blogs from America and Africa and look forward to your next which looks like it might be New Zealand
