hey<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

this blog will be another split day.  so half of the stuff now, the other half tomorrow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We were on our way to the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty when we got side tracked..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0168\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By Wall Street..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0171\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NYSE<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0172\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NYSE.. & me?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0182\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The infamous bull.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After that we walked a little ways further to the ferry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0186\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

See?  We were out on the water \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0187\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Part of the Skyline<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0194\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Looking at photos like this and knowing the twin towers were double of those two you see in the center.. puts things in perspective.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0202\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New Jersey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0203\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Overview of the NY skyline.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0215\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lady Liberty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We also went to Ellis island and another island whose name eludes me at the moment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0219\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look at my mug.  Or that green figurine in the back…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0236\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn bridge.. and a waterfall?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NYC has waterfalls posted in various places on the river as part of their artsy culture?  I don’t know, I prefer Oregon’s waterfalls to these..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"101_0240\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn Bridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, thats all for me.  Today is Friday and I’m so glad I don’t have work for another two days.  Emily wants to do something tonight so we shall see how that goes.. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Work this week went alright, it wasn’t as much of a downer as it was before I left for NY, so.. thats good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s been my life, work\/sleep.  Do it again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last night I met up with Brandy and we talked for a few hours.  She is such a good driver \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

okay, thats all for now!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

just Pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
