New York 2010

We spent the day in New York this summer before our Canada cruise. We decided to have a "free day" and take it easy and probably ended up walking 15 miles! We got a late start in Central Park because we were voluntarily bumped off our flight for 8 free round-trip tickets and didn't get in until 2 a.m. We stayed in the park until the skies got threatening and we then fled to FAO Swartz. After the rain we made it back to our hotel and then took the subway to Brooklyn, had coal oven pizza and ended the day by walking over the Brooklyn Bridge.

We stayed near the Empire State Building and had a nice view of it!
Penn Station-our starting point for the day.
