Manhattanites

Up on the Empire State building after 7pm and the sun is lighting up a gorgeous spectacle, its breathtaking and well worth the 22 dollars. We can see the almost completed One World Centre rising up to replace the twin towers, to the north the buildings around Times Square with one neon screen just visible. There is just the slightest warm breeze even tho we are 80 stories up but the is a ROAR from the city like a huge machine. We can look down on our apartment which is just a block away lying just where Broadway crosses 6th Avenue. Luckily we have an inner facing apartment so just get the general roaring noise and a distant rumble but the place is really nice-just as well given the eye-watering cost. We are up early' , still not fully adjusted to the time so its ane earlym orning hot chocolate at the foot of Empire State and Love is being played so all is more than well! Brian and Tess
