Finial Day in New York :(

Our finial day started with a really wet walk. This time Katie and I went a different way, we headed east on 57th Street. We walked into more residential neighborhoods and could hear the difference, not as many horns!! Boy, horns are something you just hear 24/7 here. We walked until we got to the East River and saw some amazing townhomes and apts and a wonderful view of the Queensborough Bridge. When I got to NYC I said that I would not go anywhere without my camera, but here I was with an amazing view, and no camera, so we walked back to the apt and got the camera and then back to the river. On the corner of Sutton and 57th East, there was a beautiful home. You could see gardens in the back along the river and ivy all over the home. In front were two town cars and a black Suburban waiting for someone. We were hoping for, maybe Regis, or Kelly, but we were amazed to see Ban Kai-moon, the Secretary General of the United Nations. WOW, what you see in New York. He had two armed guards and others around him. On the corner of his home is a police booth, this is one important man.

We walked back to get coffee for Mom and Annie and, if possible, it started raining harder, but still so fun to watch people. Doormen walking dogs, nannies walking kids to school, lots of kids heading off to school and millions heading off to work. I have just loved this trip and am so thankful to my Mom for bringing us here.

We then walked down to 30 Rock again (love the place) and walked down 5th and looked in the shops. Bought a few New York trinkets for Brad and Kids and had a fab lunch at a burger place called "Burger Heaven" filled up before our flight and then sad to say had to pack (that was fun with everything we bought) and outside to catch our last NYC cab to the airport
