New York

This was when we spent the day in New York. We took the ferry into Manhattan, then went by Subway into the Bronx to see Yankee Stadium since it was the furthest away. We traveled by Subway most of the time. After Yankee Stadium we went to visit ground Zero where the twin towers once stood. The atmosphere is still pretty gloomy at that spot, and it's just basically a construction site now, but we thought it would be good to go and pay our respects. After that we went to the shops on Seventh Avenue where the outdoor markets were open and Lisa was really happy shopping on the street just like life in Bolivia. Lisa lives for outdoor markets wherever they may be. We had tickets to Spamalot on Broadway and had to be there by 1:30, so we just walked from Seventh onto Broadway to find the Shubert Theatre. We were on the front row which isn't too bad for broadway...though like the movie theatres, the front row can be a little too close sometimes. It was a great show though, we laughed a lot, and it was really impressive. In Lisa's opinion, the play was ten times better than the movie, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." After the show we did some more shopping and went to the Letterman Show to find Ruperts shop (frequently featured on the show) but for some dumb reason we couldn't find it. We shopped a little more and then went to hang out in Central Park on a quest to find "Strawberry Fields...the John Lennon memorial" which was lovingly decorated with flowers from fans which you will see in the slideshow below. All in all it was a pretty fun day. There was so much more we wanted to do there, but no time with only one day to do it. It was a fun experience and we're glad we went.
