Our Manhattan vacation, Day 2: Hoofin' it

Sunday, July 22, 2007: We walked everywhere today, and tonight our feet are sore, but we are happy. We walked to Strawberry Fields, to and all over the American Museum of Natural History, up and down Columbus and Amsterdam to shops and flea markets and delis, then to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where M. and H. took mass and hobnobbed with the rector himself, Monsignor Robert Ritchie. Then we walked to the Empire State Building, but Auntie Pammie had only brought four tickets (one was still in the bottom of her suitcase), so we didn't go up. Instead, we strolled to Times Square, where we saw a million cool things and M. and H. got their caricatures done. It was a great day, despite Auntie Pammie's gaffes, which also included taking the express subway instead of the local one, but the kids never seem to get mad at Auntie Pammie, whew. Today's photos: 1. The kids at the "Imagine" spot at Strawberry Fields in Central Park where John Lennon and Yoko Ono hung out. 2. At the American Museum of Natural History. 3. C-Whiz and Pam after bashing heads at the museum cafeteria. 4. Noah and a Neanderthal ancestor (remarkable likeness!) in the Hall of Human Origins. 5. The girls do some intellectual reading in the museum bookstore. 6. H. at St. Patrick's Cathedral. 7. The Chrysler Building. 8. The girls with their caricatures in Times Square.

auntie pammie has to do a better job of keeping track of tickets, boarding passes, and other crucial bits of paper.
