We only had 3 full days there and two part days...not enough time to do much outside the city.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-22786542309742075442008-06-12T01:34:00.000-04:002008-06-12T01:34:00.000-04:00Jeez Ruth - would love to have had a chance to vis...Jeez Ruth - would love to have had a chance to visit with you while you were so closeby!<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a nice visit - though the city isn't my favorite place.<BR/><BR/>;-)LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-45345550107720088822008-06-11T18:56:00.000-04:002008-06-11T18:56:00.000-04:00April- Thanks!CS- I like quiet trails, but I also ...April- Thanks!<BR/><BR/>CS- I like quiet trails, but I also enjoy people. When we rode the subway, there was plenty of time to try and figure out who, what, where, and why's of the passengers.<BR/><BR/>NCMW- New York had such a variety of people! And so many were young and beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl- I do think 9/11 affected the personality of the city.

You just gave me a mini trip to NYC. <BR/>I enjoy the causal snapshots of people going about their own lives. <BR/> <BR/>I wonder too if 9/11 has changed NYC, how could it not? It still saddens me to this day when I think about all those beautiful lives that didn't get a chance to live.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting us share your vacation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-64786882619741727212008-06-10T19:26:00.000-04:002008-06-10T19:26:00.000-04:00I'm glad you came away with a good impression of t...I'm glad you came away with a good impression of the city and its people.

Your wonderful photographs give us the real feeling of NYC, the hustle and bustle, the street vendors and musicians. The city should be very proud to have tourists like you.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-78589083235135262482008-06-10T11:20:00.000-04:002008-06-10T11:20:00.000-04:00A city, its concrete structure, is just a city aft...A city, its concrete structure, is just a city after all, no matter where in the world one visits one. It is truly the people that create the atmosphere of a town, a city, a nation and give the place its real flavour. We too, like to sit and people watch ... great entertainment.
