These photos are from my visit with Cyndi to see my Uncle Ralph in New York City, in October of 2012. I took so many photos, and was so busy with my studies, that I didn't know where to start in posting any. But, I really wanted to share some, and will start with these gems.

This first one is looking north from lower Manhattan toward the Empire State Building.

And, this is looking south toward the financial district of lower Manhattan. A new day dawns and the lights are on in the Freedom Tower under construction to replace the World Trade Center.
