More sights of Manhattan

The New York Public Library.
Another gorgeous monument Fernanda and I visited.





The famous lions, Patience and Fortitude, survey the bustling life of the city from the steps of the Library's landmark Humanities and Social Sciences Library on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan









This photo is for other other Ben





You can see the ceiling of the next room through the glass





Some other things that took my fancy...


Fashion Avenue - designer clothes that only the VERY wealthy can afford
R2D2 post box - will send this to Steven!
I *heart* K sign - I was tempted to graffiti 'athryn' on the end
The United States Post Office building - very impressive
Cool Beans!! Self explanatory - very cool beans indeed!
Madison Square Gardens - we didn't go in, but passed by it while we were walking in the wrong direction at some stage
West Side sign - just 'coz









After Fernanda and I went to the Empire State Building, we did quite a bit of just general sight seeing stuff. We took heaps of crazy photos and visited some pretty amazing places!

Grand Central Station if you don't know, is a HUGE train station in the middle of the city. If you have seen Madagascar - the train station that they go to is Grand Central.

Grand Central has been Jackie O's pet project - she has worked extremely hard to get this place to the state that it is in now. Truly gorgeous.
