New York City?!
That’s right, last week my mom took me to Manhattan for my birthday and to do some family history. (I never found the infamous salsa factory of commercial fame.) We had loads of fun and did all sorts of remarkable things. Which I will prove to be true by presently remarking on them. Enjoy the pictures. I had trouble getting the formatting correct. The captions are the for the picture beneath them.
Here I am at St. Patrick's Cathedral the day before the Pope did a Mass there. He let me borrow his hat.


This is the cemetary where we were looking for our family. It was in Queens. Three million people are buried there.
This is Trinity Church viewed from Wall Street.

This is where George Washington took the oath of office.

I believe this is where the current president took the oath.

This is ground zero viewed from Trinity Church. They removed the viewing platform and put a fence around it, so you can't see it anymore.

Times Square at dusk.

The Statue of Liberty.

We went to the Museum of Natural History, which is like a zoo, if nothing moved. As you can see, things can get pretty dicey around there. We saw elephants. . .

Tyrannosauras. . .
And a Triceratops. . .
This was a filming of The Oreilly Factor.
All in all, we had good fun. Stay tuned for news on the move.
