Leaving New York this morning. Thursday July 13th. Heading North to Maine. There saying 467 miles.
Here’s what I’ve learned about New York so far. Staying on Staten Island was a good decision. The Hotel was priced right. The city bus to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal was priced right. The ride on the Ferry was FREE!! That’s right, It never cost a dime to ride The Staten Island Ferry. Thanks New York! Somewhat reminiscent of being in Hong Kong. You don’t stay in Hong Kong. You stay in Kowloon so you can appreciate the beauty of The City of Hong Kong at nighttime. Oh and by the way, when you are on the Ferry coming to Manhattan, on your left, there SHE is. The Statue of Liberty.

Sorry I couldn’t help myself.
New York is everything they say it is. Have a Nathan’s Hot Dog. (just 1 though). Take a city bus tour, get off whenever you want. You can always get back on later. See The Rockefeller Center and everything that entails. Go to the Freedom Towers Memorial. Listen to people talk. More different languages than you can possibly imagine. Every single time I say that word “Imagine” I think of John Lennon. Its true. Sit down on a park bench and just watch people. Time Square, The Brooklyn Bridge, Madison Square Gardens and The Empire State Building. The list is long and rewarding.
The New York City Police are great! Thank You New York.
-I’ll be back.
