The New York City Walk

Dear Phil,


Today Candee and I went to New York City for the day. We had a fantastic time and the weather couldn't have been better! We started out by going to the Empire State Building. Neither one of us had ever been there and it was a great way to start the day. We got some great pictures and talked to some really nice people.

After this, we decided to got to lunch and headed for a restaurant called Tortilla Flats that had been recommended to Candee by one of her friends. It was a good choice and we definitely would like to go back sometime.

Our next destination was the Hudson River and Battery Park. We had planned to go to Liberty Island to take pictures but decided we would be too rushed. We walked around the park for awhile, taking pictures.

Our pick up point to go home was back close to the Empire State Building and we debated on how to get back there...subway, taxi or walk. Walking won out because of how pretty the day was. Neither one of us felt like riding a subway on such a pretty day.

We were curious about how we had walked so Candee figured it our by using google maps. She figured out we did at least 9.4 miles, but it could have been a bit more than that.

All in all, we had a fantastic day. We definitely would like to return sometime and are hoping to do that sometime this summer.
