Nostalgic in New York City.


Last week whilst preparing my review of "Emily and Einstein" by Linda Francis Lee for my other blog just books (you can read the review by clicking here ) I spent a pleasant hour or two looking through photographs taken on our trips to NYC.



So, settle back for some more armchair travel - stroll through Central Park, shop for souvenirs in Times Square followed by a boat trip out to see the Lady herself.

I have been to London, but not to New York. On my way to London, we flew over the Twin Towers and Lady Liberty. A sight that I'll never see again. I'm not much on big cities, but I think I'd enjoy a Broadway show. However, I'd rather return to England.

I enjoyed looking back with you Maggie - even though I've never been to New York. It must be such an interesting place to visit - it's great that we are able to think back on our travels so easily thanks to our digital cameras!

Maggie, Thanks for the tour. I love NYC. My daughter and I were there in October last year. We got to see and experience the"Occupy Wall Street" folks close up.
Have a great weekend, Ginger

The excitement of NY is evident in your photos, Maggie! It has been years since I visited but I remembered so much of that special vacation while looking at your pictures.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
