The Staten Island Ferry

 On Friday, Andrew and I got in to the city to meet up with my high-school friend, Lynne, and her husband, Erik.  We all took the Staten Island Ferry, which provides a great view of the Statue of Liberty.

There she is!

 I noticed this cool building from the Brooklyn Bridge Monday evening.  It has all these cool curvy vertical lines on it.  I learned from Lynne (who studied interior design) that this is a new building--the first skyscraper designed by Frank Gehry, architect who designed the Experience Music Project in Seattle.

We walked up through China Town on our way to lunch

It was a long walk to lunch!  Andrew enjoyed the fruits of our labors. 

We took the subway back.
