New York

New York had a lot of buildings.

image

Many of them were weird.

And art. This is a giant steel balloon flower. Kerri thought that was obvious, but Matt didn’t believe her.

image

This is also art. Having a bunch of plastic chairs in a park would normally be very nice and comfortable. But it was art, so they were behind a fence.

image

This is both a building and art.

The 9/11 memorial is less tacky than it sounds in the tour books. Plus the rushing water drowns out the sound of all the tour guides.

We took the Staten Island Ferry out to Staten Island.

image

There isn’t anything on Staten Island, we just wanted to see the Statue of Liberty.

image

She is big.

image

We took a selfie.

image

Then we saw a smaller one.

image

This is Brooklyn. The shiny buildings make it look like it’s on fire.

image

Here are more buildings.

image

Here is Brooklyn not on fire.

image

Here are more buildings.

image

Here are buildings at night.

image

Here is the New York City Marathon.

image

And more buildings.
