Here's a quick summary of the trip, since we're still in the middle, and i'm sleepy. First is a video from Jersey of Manhattan, which is way bigger than I expected.

This is the outside of the place we stayed in Jersey, our friends Tracey and Joe.. it has a basement, which was nice and cold, just my kind of sleeping arrangement temperature.

This is a building at Ellis Island. Due to time constraints, we could only visit here, or the Statue of Liberty, which we could not go up, so we chose the former... much better decision, it was really interesting, and I learned a lot. This building is the main one that people first went through to go through the very extensive screening processes.

This is an old church in the financial district, which since 9-11, very limited vehicle access, nice for tourists on foot. Just really liked the way it was framed. New York is hard to photograph, because it's all too big.
