West Point & New York

     This will be our last major stop of our trip. My photographer seems to have went on strike. The camp site for west point is literally on the top of a mountain. Again limited cell and internet - Very limited. It was a beautiful location. We arrived on the Saturday And left the following Friday.
     On the Sunday we flagged a taxi and jumped a train to New York City. If I had to work New York City - I would have to live some where along this line. It travels along the Hudson River all the way in. What a beautiful ride! Upon our arrival to New York City we decided to walk to the hotel - oops (we went out the wrong door and added several blocks to our walk). OK we finally get there and have a beautiful view of the river and New Jersey. We are four blocks from the UN and one of the three Trump Towers. Through our time share we purchased a hop on and off pass as well as three of a list of places to see here. I will add the list when I add pictures. Joan wanted her carriage ride in central park. The other two we never made it two. This place is made for those who can walk marathons.
     So we caught the bus and ended up at Time Square for a night bus tour. Each bus has an individual telling you about the places and history. Each person has their own favorites. We took the same tour the following morning.  We had to stop at Rockafelar plaza and had lunch in the cafe down stairs on the same level as the ice skaters. It was great watching those skate and fall while we had a nice warm lunch. From there we jumped back on the bus to finish the tour. Joan was worn out - we were going to see a play but it was cold out - that sounds like a good excuse. The following day we had to find out where to redeem the tickets for the horse drawn carriage. We saw Trumps tower with all of the contraversy - the one across from central park. I don't blame him - it is a great location and view! Once completed we had a nice ride through central park. After that we caught the bus for up town. It was hallarius listening about how great Harlem is! It was interesting about the museum mile and a lot of the old mansions. After we completed this tour we jumped a taxi back to the hotel and another taxi back to Grand Central Station. This time the train was busy and a little more crowded.
     Now back to West Point Campsite we ordered up an Enterprise car and explored Sleepy Hollow and mansions along the Hudson. In the Grave Yard in Sleepy Hollow there is the crypt that Barnabus Collins raised out of. Again another place for some great and longer exploration
