Californians in the Big Apple

I've lost track of the days of the tour, but here's a recap of what we've done the last couple of days. That assumes that I can remember...

Tuesday - New York City
- Viewing of Ground Zero from the Winter Garden. The rebuilding of Winter Garden is quite a story in itself. You ought to look it up.
- Shopping on Fifth Avenue. My guys and I wandered all the way from Rockefeller Center to Central Park South to 42nd Avenue in Times Square.
- Tour of Radio City Music Hall. You've seen my picture already, eh?
- Dinner at Dallas BBQ. Maybe someone can tell me if it's just a NY establishment (several branches) with an evocative name, or truly out of Dallas?
- Surmounted the Top of the Rock, the rooftop viewing from the top of Rockefeller Center, all 68 stories of it.

Deep breath...

Wednesday - New York City
In the rain, ranging from light to driving, we saw:
- Ellis Island;
- Statue of Liberty;
- Back to the hotel to get gussied up to go to -
- Dinner at Dominico's (I thought they had said Delmonico's!); and
- A Broadway show! Most of the group went to see Phantom of the Opera, but Lauren and I had arranged to peel off and see Wicked. We were so glad we did - it was positively fabulous with everything about the production being terrific. Lauren also had her first NY taxi ride.
- Arrived back at the hotel at 11:30pm.

Today we're headed out to our last city Boston. Cool weather is in the forecast (low 40s) with chances of precipitation.
