New York Day 1

Our first day started out extremely groggy seeing that we flew out of Salt Lake at midnight and landed in New York at 6:30 am EST. So after 2 hours of subway we made it to Doug's apartment and fell right asleep for a few hours. We had a boat ride around Manhattan that started at 3:30. When we got to the pier we realized that we could take a speed boat out instead.
That was definitely the better choice considering we got to see the same sights and got to them faster. The guide was also hilarious. He had an array of water guns that he kept surprising the guests with. We had a load a fun.

The Statue of Liberty was not as big as I thought; especially with the New York Skyline behind us.


We didn't get to stop off at Ellis Island but it looks like some sort of middle eastern Alcatraz.


It was sad to be reminded of what was missing from the skyline.


We were sure to get a fat slice of New York pizza. It was really good.

We went walking around and wandered over to Times Square.



Doug and Kyndra recommended this romantic restaurant ironically named PO. In Chile they add the word po onto most everything the say. (this is sort of our anniversary dinner)
The food was truly amazing! We couldn't read most of the menu so the waitress had to explain what things were...even then Stina couldn't decide what to eat...finally the waitress suggested the white bean ravioli, I got sausage ragu. It was AMAZING!
