Day 345 (Monday 7/1/13)- New York City, NY

Seeing NYC in one day was difficult but worthwhile, especially considering how much it costs.
Starting our day early taking a bus costing 3x what we normally pay for transit we arrived in the Big Apple where it promptly began to pour. Like Washington DC rain. Lacking galoshes and a small raft we made our way through the streets as carefully as possible.

On the Staten Island Ferry we got to glimpse the Statute of Liberty unfortunately Isaiah wore the wrong footwear and wet stairs made the experience a little less enjoyable.

When the rain let up a bit we were able to walk along Wall Street, gaze up at the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings and walk along the Brooklyn Bridge. Later we meandered through Center Park, the Grand Central Terminal, the Lincoln Center and the library.

Though there was no possible way to see everything we were thoroughly impressed by what we managed to get done finishing the day with a slice of New York style pizza. I know it's toted as a badge of pride by New Yorkers but we can't figure out why.
