Well - we’ve sure done a lot of it this morning! After a quick hotel breakfast, we started out at the Rockefeller Centre - it was fairly drab and disappointing, and really not much to look at. The weather fairly matched - as cool as it’s been so far, and a bit grey. We arrived at the New York Public Library too early to go in, but still managed to get some pretty photos. Then we turned around, and took photos of the Chrysler building - it’s gorgeous =)

The next thing was the tour of the UN headquarters - we went through the metal detectors, passed our bags through the x-ray machine, and headed on in to the building. It was an interesting tour - we saw the EcoSoc chamber, and the GA - the Security Council was in session, so we couldn’t go in there. We also saw a statue from Hiroshima, and landmines from all around the world. And on a lighter note, there were a number of gifts, from member countries, that were well worth a peek =) By then, it was roasting, and sunny - although the humidity seems to have dropped to much more bearable levels.

Bloomingdales was rather a let-down, but Tiffany’s made up for it with sparkle! By then, our feet were nearly walked off us, so we dropped by the tourist information place to find somewhere to eat, grabbed a bite, and now we’re back at the hotel, cooling off. Photos will be at the usual place soon =)
