New York City at my feet - where to begin?
Since I had never been to the city before, The Empire State Building was naturally headlining my "must see" list. I had watched a documentary years ago about the construction of the building and now was my chance to check it out in person. So impressive and so intimidating. I was ill at ease and very intimidated by the elevators. In my mind elevators just should not rise to the 102nd floor; it seems unnatural. Once my anxiety was overcome and I arrived at the top, I concluded the stress was all worthwhile. What a grand view of Manhattan. You can literally see for miles and miles. The fear of heights got lost somewhere in the background of my mind as I gazed at the breath-taking panoramic view. Best way to see the city - from the TOP!
