What a treat to go on walk with you on Riverside Park. When we go to New York we can see the river from our room and go on the park from 80th Street. I had not seen the statue of Eleanor Roosevelt; I’ll have to check it next time. We had a raining 4th here, all week it rained until yesterday and it may rain tonight again, our fireworks were cancelled – I would have loved to be in New York!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-44454393862778644152013-07-08T05:57:38.667-07:002013-07-08T05:57:38.667-07:00Wonderful pictures, Frances...thank you for these ...Wonderful pictures, Frances...thank you for these views of NYC, I love to visit it through your blog posts!

I could definitely hear their Boom, Boom, Boom from my apartment during the allotted half hour though.<br /><br />Heat and humidity continue to rule here in NYC for this weekend!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-69367518588733878162013-07-06T01:33:01.552-07:002013-07-06T01:33:01.552-07:00Belated 4th of July good wishes from me :)
