My first view of the Big Apple from our 30th floor hotel room on 40th Street. I was intimated at first when we arrived at confusing Penn Station. Next, as I gazed out the window, I was impressed. Finally I became excited and anxious to get out onto the streets and start discovering all the wonderful things I had read and heard about the city. Television and movies just cannot give you the thrill of actually becoming part of the pedestrian traffic of that high energy place. And my short adventure was just beginning.
