Slightly famous statue

No prizes for guessing what this is. When the immigrants came into New York on the boats, the statue was the first thing they saw coming through the fog, which must have been pretty cool.

Ground Zero

Plans are already underway to rebuild the towers and make them the tallest in the world (of course). The small glass building at the front, who's name escapes me, was rebuilt after 9-11.

Rubbish fans

This is taken with 10 minutes to go in the final quarter - the stadium was nearly empty.

Here come the teams...

The Minnesota Vikings came out to the tune of 'More Than A Woman' by the Bee Gees, which we laughed at a lot. Of course the home team came out to an AC-DC style rock anthem.

Giants Stadium

We took a bus to the Giants stadium, which is shared with the Jets and is actually in New Jersey.

A view of Manhatten from Central Park. You can quite easily lose your bearings in the park as it's pretty big, although generally I didn't have a clue where I was going anywhere in New York and relied on Mik for navigation.
