New York

New York is a beautiful state and NY City is like no other!  We have thoroughly enjoyed it here.  We will see more upstate a little later. 
Cabbies everywhere!  Not during the huuricane.

Pennsylvania waterfalls

Well we were in heaven.....we hiked to so many waterfalls!  Such beautiful country.....we enjoy the cities but you just can't beat nature....when she's behaving of course!  Here's a good sample of what we saw.  Many were at Bushkill Falls and Ricketts Glen

New Jersey

Before we left New Jersey we went to Philly and routed on the Padres to no avail....but we had fun and saw their ballpark which we rate at the bottom of the ones we've seen so far.....however they have great fans!  They just looked at us puzzled like they couldn't believe there was fans there for another team.....which we were probably the only ones!  just like San Diego....huh!!??

The subway....not so great!
