New York City June 20

Well we finally made it to the Big City. I don't really know how to put it into words, it's crazy here!! There are more people walking on this one street than there is in the whole Tri-Cities. We walked the city last night looking at all the street vendors and found some cool souvenirs to bring back but we also had to buy umbrellas. We were tired of getting soaked! The rain has been unstoppable but we don't let us stop us from doing what we want to do. Last night we put on our dresses and heels, got a taxi and went to the World Yacht Dinner Cruise. It took us around the city of NY at night where we could see the lights of the city. Even though it was cloudy it was still beautiful! When we went by the Statue of Liberty (very slowly) they played some beautiful songs that took your breath away. God Bless The USA was one of them. I love that song!! The food was awesome and the DJ played some beautiful songs for everyone to dance to. I have to admit it all reminded me of the cruise Jim and I took and some of those songs killed me!! When we got back to the pier we were trying to find a taxi to get us back to the Hotel but everyone else had the same idea so we kept walking down the street to look for a taxi somewhere else. The next thing you know, we were back to our Hotel, we walked the entire way in our dress and heels in the rain at 11pm. I wished we had our umbrellas with us. We looked liked drowned rats with blisters on our feet but we just laughed about it. We are excited to tackle another day in NY today.
