... the switchover this morning, the IT guy realized he hadn't put a notice up so threw one up on the website today??

So since I got a free day in NYC, I decided to make the most of it. I went all the way up to the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building (been saying Eiffel Tower all day though). I actually liked the 86th floor better though because you can actually go outside. It was a beautiful day for it though. Visibility was 10 miles ...

der vorletzte tag im fremden land. der vormittag hat uns mal wieder durch die häuserschluchten gespült und brachte somt keine großartigen neuigkeiten mit sich.

für den nachmittag hatten wir dann ein date: um 4:45 starteten wir per boot auf große fahrt. der yankee-clipper, eine sonderfähre der ny waterways, schipperte uns mit einem haufen blau-weiß gekleideter menschen vom pier 78 (westseite manhattans) einmal um ...

... relaxing! then yesterday we went to the apfelfest in nearly warwick which is kind of like oktoberfest / harvest festival where all the streets are closed off and theres loads of stalls, apple cider, apple cake, handicrafts, music and general festivities. the weather was superb and we spent hours wandering around sampling the fare (!) and looking at pictureesque disneyesque houses all around. in the afternoon cousin phil arrived back from boston and it was good to get ...

... Gameshow',) aan het kijken waren op hun iPods. Geen kots deze keer, maar wel een obsceen luide snurker. In eerst instantie hadden we medelijden met de Chinese vrouw die naast hem moest gaan zitten omdat ze als laatste de bus in kwam, maar ook die viel wonderbaarlijk genoeg in een haast comateuze slaap en tot onze hilariteit waren ze halverwege de rit in hun beider slaap zo gerold dat ze intiem op elkaars schouders lagen te suffen! Helaas hebben we het moment van ...

... Jacksonville. In Jacksonville we had a small halt, enough to check out the city downtown and photograph them. From then on we continued up north along I-95 Crossing Georgia, South Carolina. Georgia was easier to cross but South Carolina felt like never ending. By now we had ...

... and loads it). Bought a slip not entirely practical but for nostalgia purposes had to have it. Yesterday post South-Street Seaport, we did manage to take the Staten Island ferry (with all the other tourists, mostly foreign) and then eat a late lunch in Battery Park--haunting because the globe sculpture from the World Trade Center Plaza, somewhat battered and half-melted, has been stationed there with an ...

... the camera equipment, and managing the technical aspects of the camera part of filmmaking (and much more). The 2nd AC assists the 1st AC in doing his job, as well as keeping track of paperwork involved in the process (such as timecards for the whole department, camera reports, etc), and is on-set next to the 1st AC most of the time aiding in reloading the camera, changing lenses/filters/accessories, and slating (you've seen the clapper boards before) each scene ...

... made zero purchases, but I had a great time looking and trying on. Even though I know I don't have room for a single additional garment it didn't stop me from seriously considering the purchase of one particular pair of jeans (which, btw, were a STEAL!).

Most of my time, however, was spent visiting a few of the NYC landmarks that no true New Yorker would ever find themselves near. First, I went to the Empire State ...
