and on....

I never would have guessed that NYC is a vacation destination the week between Christmas and New Year's. I, personally, would opt for warmer weather. But swarms of tourists have descended upon Herald Square. And that means that to get anything to eat or shop or even walk down the street for the local New Yorker is close to impossible. This is a line to get up into the observatory at the Empire State building. It went on around the block. I'm told that there is more waiting once you get up inside the building as well. To top it off, the visibility isn't even great today, it's very overcast. Friggin' tourists! It's been 5 months, I can say that now :)
