New York

Russ and I had a great time in New York City. We walked A LOT, so much that every part of our bodies ached. We went through Times Square many times. Russ' brother Dan works in a building near Times Square. On Friday evening we ate dinner at his office and enjoyed a great view of the Empire State Building. On Saturday we spent the afternoon in the Ironbound distict in New Jersey, where the Brazilian neighborhood is, we ate lunch and Russ got a much needed brazilian fix. Sunday was our last day in the city. We spent some time in Central park and then went to check out the view of the city at Liberty State Park. It was a great trip, we missed Josie a lot, but it was great to get away. Here are some pics from our trip.

Anxiously awaiting the Subway.

In front of the Statue of Liberty... it's that tiny thing to the left.
Wall StreetOur first of many times in Times Square.

The ESPN Zone, an obvious must for Russ.

This is the gift we bought Josie at FAO Schwartz on her birthday. Not sure if she likes it.

Russ found some much wanted Brazilian items.

Oh how fun. I love New York. It looks like you guys really packed a lot in the few days you were there. I'm sure it was nice to home to Josie too though.
