The Empire State Building

Sunday 23rd September

Today Fernanda and I went into the city to walk around some of the famous sites and to be completely touristy about it!

When we got off the subway at Penn Station, we started walking to the Empire State building, then turned around because we were going the wrong way. We do that a lot in the city - sometimes grid formation doesn't help in the slightest.

Anyway, we arrived eventually and lined up in the queue to go up. We were nearly at the top (just after we had paid to get in) and it started to rain outside. Oh well, nothing we could do at that point so we continued.

We got to the observation deck on the 86th floor and ventured outside in the drizzle. Not so bad until the fog got really think that we couldn't see very much. Then the rain started to pour and we were forced inside.

So I guess our first adventure of the day didn't go quite as we had planned but oh well - it was still very cool.

We will go again another day - probably in the spring.
