Um, Taxi Please....New York: Part 4

After a semi-hiatus, I am back. I'm sure most everyone has riden a bus before...but, herein lies an even greater question...have you ever ridden on a double decker bus? So, it's like a regular bus, but not really. There are seats on the top of the bus....take a look for yourself.

And though it doesn't look too high, it is. On many occasions during the tour, the signal lights were literally right above your head. If I had stuck my hand in the air, I am pretty sure I would have no hand right now, and thus I would not be able to type, and therefore I would have no posts on my blog about my trip. Though you may feel like it's a roller coaster with the breeze in your face and traveling at a somewhat moderate speed, it would not be a good idea to put your hands in the air - just a piece of advice for any future double decker bus riding goers.

All right - so the tour. I went on three of the bus tours. It was a good way to see all of the New York hotspots and places of interests. Then if anything catches your fancy, you could go back later. I did the downtown, uptown and night tour. So I pretty much saw all of Manhatten and then during the night tour, we went traveled through parts of Brooklyn. I was bummed when I did the night tour because I was breaking in a new camera and I couldn't figure out how to get the night time setting right, so there are only a few good ones, and then some that are funky. Oh well. Anyways...enjoy your tour through NYC!

Was that a picture of the temple?!

We actually have been on a double decker before. At the San Diego zoo. It was cool being as tall at the giraffes.

Yep...that was the temple. Angel Moroni got cut off. I added some more pics to the slideshow, in which you can see him, well sort of. But at least you can tell he is there.
