New York, Part Two--The Empire State Building

On Friday, Mar 7, we decided to go to the Empire State Building. It was a cloudy day, but at least it wasn't raining. We only went up to the 86th floor. We could have gone up to the 102nd floor, but we decided 86 floors was good enough. The views were great! We were able to see all over. We even saw the Statue of Liberty off in the distance. It really was quite a sight. It's totally touristy, but if you're in New York you have to go there. I would have preferred to have gone on a sunny day, but it was still great, nonetheless.
