New York City was never on our bucket list but it was along our route on this trip.
We stayed at an RV park offering a city tour with pick up at the park. We had no desire to drive anywhere near New York City. Our tour guide was 79 years old and had lived in New York City his entire life. What a gold mine of history and personal perspective.
Even in a bus the drive in New York is scary. Streets crammed with vehicles and drivers always in a hurry.
Funky vehicles like the T-Rex car / motorcycle (made in Quebec).
Giant pretzels, of course.
NYPD in the middle of everything.
Times Square.
The 2015 New Year’s Eve ball.
Old buildings.
Endless skyscrapers.
Iconic New York stores.
Stars on the big screen.
Stars on the street.
Street names that spell “power”.
The skyline.
The harbor.
Ellis Island where from 1900 to 1924 millions of immigrants were inspected to determine their eligibility to enter the United States.
The Statue of Liberty symbolizing “Welcome to the United States of America”.
The energy and power of New York City is palpable and intoxicating.
Your photos of NYC bring back long forgotten memories . You captured so many familiar sights that we remember so fondly.

I used to live in NYC..briefly...right after returning from Vietnam. I didn't love it. Too Big. too fast. Wall to wall people where life moves at warp-speed FAST. However, for those who can accommodate to this highspeed Super City, there are fortunes to be made and greatness to be achieved...usually..... just around the corner
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Wow!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I do love big cities. It's been over 40 years since I was last there. Just looks busier and bigger and oh, so exciting. Love to go back. You do take the BEST photos, Linda.
