A group of us went to New York City last September, and I finally got to see more of the city than the theatre district and all the “touristy” (read 42nd St.) areas. I’ll say it now … I love New York. I know it’s easy to say that since I visit only once a year and don’t have to put up with the daily grind of city life. But, I know people (Tim and Brett mainly) that live there and love it. We went down to the East Village one afternoon and had lunch. Coming out of the restaurant I snapped the picture above. “Cappuccino & Tattoo.” Now, how funny is that? It’s my favorite picture that I took on the trip, and to me it sums up what is so great about the city. After lunch we walked down through China Town and made our way to the East River. From there we strolled down to Battery Park. The sky was crystal clear with the sun reflecting off the windows of so many buildings. It was a dazzling site. I can’t wait to go back and visit again.
