New York City

Here we are crossing under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge which connects Staten Island to Brooklyn.  It is 649 feet high!!  It is the gateway to New York Harbor - separating the upper bay and lower bay.  Never in a million years did I think that we would be entering New York Harbor in our own boat.

 Sailing past the Statue of Liberty.  We thought it would be really scary in New York Harbor - busy with all the BIG boat traffic, ferries etc...  But the reality was that it is large and as you can see folks are just out there sailing their boats!

 Lady Liberty standing so proud out in the Harbor.  They will actually let you anchor your boat right by her.  Pretty neat.

 Gotta love NYC - beautiful skyscrapers and a church right in the middle!  

 Love the reflections in the buildings.

We walked around Greenwich Village for awhile.  It was so hot that day - 93 degrees.  New Yorkers have to cool off any way they can - the water fountain doubles as a swimming pool for the little ones.

 Love the mix of old and new.

 One of the coolest buildings I have ever seen.
