Friday in NYC

Friday morning. We checked out of the hotel slightly behind schedule, (through no fault of our own), but we still have a few hours to enjoy the city some more.

Breakfast at this place, (we had bacon and eggs)


"Imagine" mosaic near an entrance to central park

Daniel Webster, one of America's greatest orators

View of a lake in Central Park

Walking around Central Park

It took only about two minutes to scare off the innocent guitarist on the left

Long Island was formed by glaciers like the ones which likely pushed this granite here

In the Bethesda Fountain Plaza


A very photogenic fountain!

Inside of St. Patrick's Catherdral

St. Patrick's is the largest cathedral in NYC

The cathedral was built between 1858 and 1879

In 2008, the pope conducted mass here during his New York trip


The church is currently under renovation

Don't bother Michael, he's going into his office.

Several boys had their pictures taken holding signs thanking American soldiers. In return, Bank of America donated $1 for each picture and put them up on their advertisement screen
