More Fall Pictures

     



These are some pictures from just across the bridge in New Jersey looking over to Manhattan.  The leaves were so pretty at this time of year.  These were taken about two or three weeks ago, which was probably the peak time to see the leaves.  The last picture is of the Columbia University Medical Center Campus, where we are located.  It looks like a pretty campus from this angle.  Emphasis on "this angle."  We will get some pictures of the main campus which is a very beautiful campus.  Or you could just go watch Ghostbusters, Spiderman 2 or other movies in which the campus is displayed.

Our First Visitors!


My family came and stayed with us for a week.  It was a lot of fun and really good to see them.  Unfortunately, I had to work most of the time and Derek had school and a test to study for.  But we spent as much time as possible with them.  They spent most of the day sightseeing and the evenings and weekend we spent seeing more sights or relaxing at home.  

This is the Broadway show that we got to see; Mary Poppins.  It was very good!  Good music, good acting, creative stage design; I definitely recommend it!

Yes, we definitely look like lost tourists here!


Here we are eating out in a little restaurant in Chinatown.  Mmmm... Vietnamese food.  Now that we have lived here for a few months, we know some of the worthwhile things to do and see.  So hopefully we were decent tour guides.  We sure enjoyed having them!
