Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's our last day in New York...this will be day 3....and really still so much to see and do...it just takes so long to get around in the traffic....so we had to take the subway today...against my will....we took the subway.  As soon as you go down the stairs...it's just hot and smelly and loud... When we first got on the subway....it wasn't busy...and as we left each stop....just more and more and more people got on!  This is not my idea of fun, but if I wanted to see the Sailboat pond in Central Park...this is the only way to do it. I made it!  I hope to never go on another Subway again! The pay off was this!! I just love to watch the sailboats here....I guess as a kid I always saw the Pond in Central Park in so many Movies and it just seemed so "New York" ... this is what I love to see.... I can't explain it.....there is no rationale....it's just my #1 thing to see in New York. When you watch these little kids they...

Day 2 in New York....they are long days even though we only go into town about 7 or so hours as Gracie is back at the RV.  There is just so much going on that it is mentally and visually tiring. Today is a sunny day, the temperatures are to get to about 30 degrees. This may be the only fireflies I see on this trip....We see these rentals lots down here... We got off the ferry yesterday in the same place....and yesterday we wondered where all the people were...well today we didn't have to worry.  They were all outside eating lunch....the place was jammed with business people mixed with tourists.... it was super busy. They have beautiful parks all alongside the water for people to enjoy their lunch. And then you will see little green spots here and there for relaxing in. And if you are looking for something fun and unusual to do on a Friday night... Now this looks like a fun job...dog walkers!!! We walked through this Church yard....and it just h...
