Sept 29 NYC What a great place to bike

Tweety at his New Jersey City home, notice this is not your usual campground. It was very nice however and convenient. Becky is running out of the picture.

 We had a two minute bike ride to catch the ferry to the Wall Street area on the West side..
 As we pulled out of the harbor toward downtown NYC.
You can see one of the new towers being built and our bikes on the front of the ferry.

 The bike trail along the West side of the Hudson river was very nice
 Becky is actually riding here, I just pointed the camera behind me and shot.
The Fire Department Boat that cruises up and down the river.

 We rode our bikes up the bike trail to 67th Street and cut over to Central Park. You must ride on the street and we were a little concerned, but it was no problem at all. We felt safer riding there than many streets at home.
 You have to have a hot dog sold by the local vendors in Central Park. There were many vendors of all kinds of thing. One would tell you a joke that guaranteed that you would laugh for a dollar. Many musicians playing just far enough apart that their music didn't conflict with each other but
drifted along with you long enough to enjoy.
One of the many fountains and a lake to rent boats to row.

We came out of Central park and I could see Times Square about five blocks away and we had to ride the streets to get there. I am going to try to put a movie on the blog to show what it looked like, but we did see Cookie Monster, Elmo and Mickey.

I put this in for Amy, she likes to buy from this store.

 Next we rode our bikes about three blocks to see Rockefeller Plaza.

 We tried to see the 911 Memorial, but there was just too many people so we rode down Trinity Street and saw the Trinity Street Church.




We then rode our bikes back to the Hudson River and the next three pictures show the boats and the last one shows the Statute of Liberty from Battery Park.



After a good day riding our bikes we took the ferry back to Liberty Landing.

This is at our campground and the sun is on Statute of Liberty.
