NYC @ night...

The most laughable sign in NYC - I have never heard so many cars honk, so often...
And trust me...no one was getting rich off this bylaw!
In the theatre district, just off Times Square...
And again...
Times Square
The entrance to the Manhattan Bridge...
Looking at the edge of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge as we headed over the Manhattan Bridge to quickly tour Brooklyn.
The divine smelling Hershey's store...
Which wisely handed out free Dove chocolates...
Miss M&M Liberty
The view from the top of the Rockefeller Center...
An earlier view...
And again...with the Chrysler Building lit up in the distance...
And the Rockefeller center wouldn't all fit in one pic...so this is looking from the gardens & fountain...up, up, up...
Where we got our great view of the NYC @ night.

The most hilarious little story teller...en francais

Don't worry...there are english subtitles to help you out...

A few of the building of NYC

My favourite bldg in NYC - the old bldg w/ a new top...
I believe Jackie K lived here at one point, across the street for Central park.
I loved all the fire escape stairs.
Water tanks on the bldg tops were for ??
Another favourite - the Flat Iron Bldg.
Our hotel - Hampton Inn by Hilton in the Soho district.
Garden & fountain at the bottom of the Rockefeller Center.
Getting ready for the rink at the 'Rock.
Apt in Harlem
Roof tops in Harlem
This is the bldg where Yoko Ono lives.

On our way to NYC...

There we were @ the train station in New Haven, CT...waiting for the train to NYC and trying to blend in with the commuters. (We weren't so successful...our eagerness was glarily obvious!)
We've arrived at Grand Central Terminal!
Lots of people, ticket windows, schedule panels, police, etc.
One of NY's finest - the NYPDGrand Central @ night...with the Crysler Bldg in the backgound.
Grand Cental Terminal
And again...

2nd stop - Newport Beach, RI

Looking right @ Newport Beach
Looking left @ the beach...towards the shops...
A little inlet along the coast...
Narragansett Bay
Back at the marina in Newport...
More of the coast...
And again...
Some of the shops in town...by the water...
Looking towards the water...
Mmmm - the Cookie Jar store - highly recommended by us!
Still wandering around the harbourfront...
More shops...old, well maintained & colourful...
Loved this one...
Headin' back over the bridge...
Tried to catch the sunset & all the sailboats @ Jamestown thru the bridge railings...

1st stop - Jamestown

Standing at the beach in Jamestown on our way to Newport Beach...
This is the bridge to Newport Beach...
Some of the waterfront in Jamestown...
Boats moored in the harbour...
A most adorable neighbourhood, named...
Shoreby Hill - loved it!
