Day 43, Nov 12th

Today we pressed our luck and decided to visit New York City via the bus, train and subway. This time we had all of the maps for each leg of the trip. This helped but still wasn't perfect.

Once downtown we decided to visit the Empire State Building and see the city from the 89th floor. The view from there was awesome. The observation deck was a little crowded be we managed to take some photos and see the sights.

After the Empire State Building we decided to go to the Radio City Music Hall and see the Rockettes Christmas Show. This was awesome. I was expecting a musical with dancing girls but to my surprise it was one of the best shows I've seen. Santa Claus was there along with his sleigh and reindeer. They combined an awesome 3D movie that was integrated into the show along with very bright and colorful back drops. Wow!, it truly was great.

Our trip back home was slightly easier this time but we still didn't get back to the motorhome until about 9pm.

This is the main entrance to the Radio City Music Hall. As you can see by the crowds, it's very popular.

The backgrounds on the show were awesome. They used some kind of projector to make the background move. The gears in the background were turning and other items were animated as well. Very unique.

I'm not sure how they did it but all of the different colors were so bright they were almost fluorescent. Very cool.

I know they practice a lot and probably get paid a lot as well, but I was very impressed on how well the kept in sync with each other and when they kick their legs up they matched exactly and all the kicks were exactly the same, very impressive.
