I don't know what it is about this city that attracts people all over the world...perhaps it's the excitement it offers, its multi-national population, its statuesque skyscrapers, its visually stunning avenues lined with hoards of pedestrians and yellow taxi cabs, or most likely, it's probably the fact that it only costs usd$15 to get there from Boston. This is our second trip to the Big Apple in three months, and we're coming again in May. The little one was over-excited when we took her on the free Staten Island ferry to see the Statue Of Liberty. We went on a late afternoon boat, and managed to catch the American icon basking in the evening light, and on our way back to Manhattan from Staten Island, we got to see it at dusk, with a lovely sunset and splendid sky. This trip, however, isn't one that I can fully enjoy, as I have several deadlines waiting for me back in Boston after my Spring break. I don't know how I'm going to get through next week. I have three photo essays to shoot, and two of them haven't been set up. I'm trying to put it out of my mind for now, but I know I'll have to face the music soon. Hope your week's going well...
From Manhattan to Staten Island
On board the Staten Island ferry. It was freezing cold outside...
The Statue of Liberty was a gift of international friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States in 1886.
At Grand Central Station, another magnificent place.
