New Year’s in New York

New York was just fantastic! Rhonda and I were at a party with a friend of mine in the penthouse — with a patio! — of a tall hotel complex in the middle of Manhattan! We could see everything that was going on.

On one side, we saw the ball drop in Times Square, and on the other we saw the fireworks at Central Park at midnight. It was absolutely breathtaking! Here are some pictures we took.

(Click the thumbnails below to enlarge.)

Arrival day. Above are pictures while strolling down Times Square on the day before New Year’s Eve (Monday, the day we arrived). It sure was busy!

New Year’s Eve. In preparation for the big event, you can see in the first picture that they started blocking off the streets. Next are views of Times Square and Central Park from the top of the building where we celebrated.

New Year’s Day. After midnight, the first is me (see Times Square in the background), next is Rhonda and I, then New Year’s day (see the “2003″ sign where the ball dropped) and the fourth is my friend, Spyro, and I.

Final Day. The day after, I wanted to see Ground Zero. I was in awe. The first picture is a plaque commemorating the 2,800+ names of the people who lost their lives. The second is a wreath and the third is the memorial wall — it was huge. And finally, the fourth is a view of Ground Zero itself, behind the fence.
