Long Time Coming, pt. 2

The next day we went on a bus tour of Manhattan.  I found it very enjoyable, and very relaxing.  Walking, being an overrated method of transportation, it was nice to get bused around for an entire day.  The architecture in New York City is just awesome, no doubt about it; there is history in each building.





Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Our tour guide let us off the bus to get a look inside- it was neat.
Uptown is so different than Midtown.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Contrary to what our tour guide believes, the Rockefellers did not actually live here.
Carey Grant used to work here.




After the bus tour (which took most of the day) we went to Rockefeller Center to look for Tina Fey.  We didn't see her, and I was sad.  While we didn't find Tina Fey, we did manage to go to Top of the Rock and got a fantastic view of Manhattan.  







This is what happens when you spend all day on the top of a double-decker bus.
(Please don't tell my mom.)

Our friends mocked me when all I wanted to see/do in NY was tv or movie related. I wanted to see Letterman, be on the Today show in the outside crowd, find Tina Fey, see the arch thing from When Harry Met Sally, etc., etc.

Nothing wrong with that, Misty! On our bus tour we passed the restaurant where Sally had her delicious sandwich (as the tour guide put it). Rockefeller Center is a must! I only wish I could have found Tina Fey.
