We usually do luck out with weather until the day we leave and then it torrentially pours and we drive though it all the way home. Though one October I walked from Macy's over to about 65th and Amersterdamn in the a record breaking flooding rain. Once I'd gone one block, I was soaked. All cabs were taken and the subway was flooding. Craziness! The weather was much nicer this time. ;)Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-24396013683353221042012-06-13T21:40:08.948-04:002012-06-13T21:40:08.948-04:00you must go again! you'd have a ball.you must go again! you'd have a ball.Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-40513729404081867772012-06-13T20:38:40.388-04:002012-06-13T20:38:40.388-04:00I love your shot of the ship in front of the build...I love your shot of the ship in front of the buildings...it's really great with the old and new :)Story Tellers Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583704103003457380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-20351114669853222662012-06-13T11:50:51.535-04:002012-06-13T11:50:51.535-04:00Another great set of photos of New York!
