22.9.08 7 hours in New York City

With a 10.5 hour layover in Newark on the way back to Israel, I took the opportunity to take the NYC shuttle from EWR (Newark Intl) into Manhattan. I walked through Times Square, down Broadway and 5th Avenue, was on set at NBC's Today Show, and took the elevator to the 67th floor and the escalator to the 69th floor for a view of NYC from the "Top of the Rock": Rockefeller Center. I then managed to make my way out to the Statue of Liberty for a very brief visit. This was my first time outside of the JFK or EWR Airports. NYC is amazing!!!

Pete and Katherine's wedding: 20.9.2008

As some of you know, I returned to the U.S. for a wedding of some very close friends this past week. I will plan on posting a couple pictures here. I was honored to stand with Pete and Katherine as a groomsman. Rev. Ann Bowersox officiated. It was beautiful, and it was wonderful to catch up with friends!
