Back in May of 2000, Ariel and were among the throng of wide eyed, slow walking, gawking, cross walk signal obeying, map unfolding, tired legged, sidewalk clogging, improper Metrocard inserting, price astounded, picture clicking, tourist population of New York City.
I attended a conference in upstate New York and swung my flight schedule such that my round trip carried me through New York City. Ariel flew into NYC after the conference was over and we spent a week pounding the pavement of the city.
I remember at that time thinking that New York City was a fun place to visit, but probably not a fun place to live. Wrong-O! What a difference a few years can make. New York is a happening place to call home.
Anyway, we did click lots of photos on our trip but most of our photos are in storage back in Oregon. Over the holidays when we went back out West we did have the chance to go through our photos and we found a couple of pics that are particularly meaningful now. See for yourself.
I remember shaking in my shoes on top of the Tower Observation deck – I’m not a huge fan of heights. Now I still shake a little bit when I see these pictures, but for a different reason.
