New York, New York .......






Just trying to remember all the things we have done in the last couple of days is pretty mindblowing. The most memorable so far would have to be going to a New York Yankees vs Chicago White Sox at the old Yankee Sadium, the final games are playing this week as at the endof this session the new stadium will open, so it is the end of an era. Navigating the subway is something else, especially with 53,000 other people. I had a few people asking me what ticket and where to go and got a shock when I spoke with this weird accent "sorry, I've got no idea".
















The animal clock at the Central Park Zoo





Grace at Toys 'R Us in Times Square (Spongebob paradise)



The other thing that struck us, espcially on the Sunday was the number of dogs (drssed up and being pushed around in prams - unbelievable ). They actually have a pet hospital, where you can get a private room for your cat, dog, bird, or lizard with a view of the Hudson River.






On a very dfferent note, today we found Ground Zero and the Twin Towers Memorial display, it was very moving and incredibly sad.








I think the kids most memoriable is Dylan's Candy Bar -- amazing !! I will let the picture do the talking.





It's "The Lion King" tonight, can't wait. Tomorrow we are off to Rome.

Ciao For Now.
