The day started out nice with sunshine and temps in the 50's when we walked to a restaurant and ate breakfast before heading on to Times Square via the subway. You would never know there is a whole other world beneath the streets and shops of Manhatten but there is and I have seen it up close and personal. This other world or city beneath the city has lots of shops, restaurants, walls with inlaid mosaics and murals, musicians, and of course the subway system. My first subway ride was not too bad as the subway cars were empty so we had no problem finding a seat. The subway travels fast and sort of wobbles as you are riding along the tracks. It took us from Chelsea to Times Square in 10 minutes. Times Square was interesting to say the least. There were lots of people no matter which way you looked. Lots of skyscrapers and stores all decked out with brightly lit advertisements of the newest fashions, automobiles, news and other items that are of interest to the touring public.as only New York City can do. Before leaving Times Square we ate at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company made famous by Forest Gump. One sighting in Times Square was of the famous Naked Cowboy. However, we was unable to get a picture of him because he was surrounded by so many people that snapping a picture was not possible. As Day 2 comes to an end we are looking forward to Day 3. We have tickets to Live with Regis and Kelly at 9:00am on Monday. After that we are going to Rockefeller Plaza and St. Patrick's Cathedral. I only have one more thing to say before I close tonight. I LIKE CALLING NORTH CAROLINA HOME! AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK THERE!!!!!!!
