| ALMOST IN NYC ! |

| 79TH STREET BASIN, NYC |
As soon as we arrived at the 79th street Boat Basin Marina, friends Vicky, Sasha & Benji were there to greet us. They treated us to lunch and brought us walking 'The High Line' which is a railway turned into an incredible park. I was most impressed with the Chelsea Market which is an enclosed urban food court & shopping mall. The fish selection was incredible ! We passed by the Carrie Bradshaw's apartment ('Sex in the City' TV show). They weren't kidding when they say there's a lineup to the Magnolia bakery where the girls frequented. Crazy tourists ! We were royally treated to an incredible Indian dinner that evening. It was so nice to see my old friends from my years at McGill University.

| BIKING ON THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE |
The next day, we biked from our boat along the Hudson River's bike path to the World Trade Center Memorial. That's always something not to miss. We went thru Wall street but only saw tourists, not many suits. The Exchange building is heavily guarded.

| EATING DRAGON FRUIT IN CHINA TOWN |
OK, then it was rush hour and we biked thru China town, Little Italy then thru the center of the city back to our boat. It is indeed suicidal to bike thru NYC especially without a helmet, YIKES ! Biking thru Central Park was much more safer. That night, we walked thru Time Square & the Empire State building to see all the lights. Our last day brought us to the Statue of Liberty, dinner in Little Italy and a walk thru Central Station. I especially liked walking in China town where I ate a Dragon fruit for the first time. Don't miss going thru a Chinese market, I saw some marinated tongue & live frogs for sale, YUM !
