Today we left NYC and headed back to the corn fields of South Dakota. We made it as far as Coldwater, Michigan tonight. Tomorrow we leave at 8 and should be in Chicago by 10. Lot less traveling compared today, today we traveled from 8 am to around 8:30 pm. Since I didn't get my pictures from yesterday up I will do that now! Was going to do on the bus but didn't get good internet service.
Yesterday we just got some last minute sightseeing in. Our hop on- hop off bus had two routes so yesterday we took what was called the Uptown tour. The first thing that I saw of real interest to me was the place where John Lennon was shot. Then we went around the perimeter of Central Park and made a stop at the Plaza Hotel/GM Building/ Central Park. First we went to the Plaza. I wanted to go into the hotel because thats where Home Alone and Eloise was filmed. We got into the lobby and it looked nothing like the movies. The only thing that looked similar was the dining room. After that we went to the GM Building which is where CBS has it studios. Since we saw NBC studios I thought we should CBS since we were going right by there. After the GM Building we walked into Central Park to a few pictures and walked out. Just to say I was there! We then went back to the hotel and rested. At 4 we went with our group to the Yankees Game. The rest of the bus took the subway but we decided to take a taxi. While we were waiting for a taxi a limo pulled up and we got to and from the game in a limo. Lot better than the subway. Pictures from yesterday:
