New York

 Kyle and I had the opportunity to go to New York for 5 days.  We had a great time.  The first day we went to the lower East Side Tenement Museum which was really interesting.
 Then we walked around Little Italy and had lunch.
 We went to the Freedom tower and walked around the 9/11 Memorial.


 And then we hopped the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.




 At the end of the day we walked by the water and looked at the Brooklyn Bridge.
 The next day we went to Rockefeller Center and to the Top of the Rock where we got a great view of the city.


 After that we went to Serendipity 3 for their famous frozen hot chocolate and then walked around Central Park.
 Then over the Brooklyn Bridge and we wandered through Brooklyn Heights.

 We stopped for a treat at the Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain where we had ice cream and their specialty egg cream which is milk, seltzer water and vanilla or chocolate flavoring.  It doesn't sound great but it is.

 Newsies was at night and had fabulous music and dancing.
 We walked through Times Square on our way home.
 The US Open was the next day.  Aurthur Ashe is in the background.
 We saw Sock,

 MacEnroe and Courier announcing,
 Murray,
 Federer,
 Verdasco,
 Blake,
 Roanic,
 Hewitt,
 Ferrer,


 DelPotro,
 Roddick,
 Mike and Jen for dinner, (we saw on Facebook they were in town so we got together)
 Almagro
 and Berdych.
It was a fabulous trip.  Nadal wan't there, however, so I suppose we will have to go again.
