Boston and New York (Picture BLOG)

Time to take a week and go see a few things.  So off we went to Boston and New York City.

Freedom Trail... with the Mass State house in the background. You just follow the red line and walk down a history lesson - lots of fun and very interesting.

Hamster at Bunker Hill, Battle took place in 1775....  We climbed up inside the monument, 297 steps, you really feel it the next days in the legs.  Would be great training.

Boston Common in the evening..

500 Boylston St - the building featured in the US show - Boston Legal... 'Denny Crane'.

Cheers.    Photo Op only.  Didn't partake in an ale this time.

Bikes can always be victims... Sad

Squirrels running all over the place in Boston Common.. They don't mind having their photo taken...

Sam Adams - and 'Cheers' it was to quite a number of his finest...

The view from the Top of the Hub Restaurant.  This place in on top of the Prudential Building, also known as the Pru.  Great restaurant, wonderful food, very friendly staff and amazing views.

I met a frog friend in the Common.......

Well 3 and a half days enjoying Boston it was time to head south to the Big Apple for a few days, say hello to Julia, Nic and the boys, take in the sights, see a show and generally absorb the atmosphere.

Brooklyn Bridge from down on Pier 17......

Take NY by the balls.  There is no Bear around here - Actually there's too much Bull.!!!  They should put up a Bear next to this fella or at least a Matador - some symbol to tame the Bull going forward or we'll simply see another cycle and the same thing will happen.

Then Up in the air we go for some aerial sight seeing.....

South NYC by the air - what a great ride...

The new New York Yankees stadium - it is built right next door to the old one.....

Central park from above

The Lady of NYC from the air - a far easier way then lining up with about 5000 people down at Battery Park trying to catch the ferry out to the island.


Chicago in New York - Great show

Jazz band in Central Park - nice and relaxing for 20 or so minutes 

Times Square....

All in all NYC is one hell of a busy place

Well it was a fun week away and much needed.  I wish I could be on holidays for 3 months - alas, back to reality.

Cheers.
