"The Big Apple"

Hi All

Here we are in Downtown Brooklyn, which is so far, so good.

Yesterday we bought weekly Metro Cards for a week of unlimited travel on the subway and MTA buses, so we went to Manhattan and took a Hudson River-Statue of Liberty cruise, had lunch at Pier 17, then walked Wall Street and said hi to Donald, then on to the World Trade Center where it started raining. We walked on to Chinatown before the rain got the better of us so we got back on the subway to return to our hotel.

Tessa is getting a little more comfortable with Downtown Brooklyn as we went out late afternoon to a laundermat then walked to a supermarket before finding a restaurant for dinner. By tonight we should be full blooded "Brooktonians".

All for now as it's breakfast followed by more of the Big Apple tourist gig.

Cheers David & Tessa
