My girlfriend in New York - First Evening

My girlfriend Karin arrived yesterday evening to visit me in New York for a week!
While I had to get up at 7:00am to get to work in time, Karin could sleep untio 1:00pm. How lucky she is... She visited me at work in the afternoon, I showed her around the Magnum office and we had lunch at this good Cuban restaurant (already mentioned in an earlier post) on the other side of the street. Back to work for me, Karin went downtown for a little shopping tour in SoHo (of course she didn't buy a lot... well... not that much... well...).

We met in front of the Empire State Building after work to get on to the observatory platform viewing New York from above. We went to Starbucks, having a coffee and a Lemon Cake before lining up to get our tickets. We finally got them and made our way to a room through which all visitors are planted to get their picture taken in front of a ugly "Empire State Building Wallpaper". You are not allowed to use your camera in their, but you may of course purchase this photo after going down again for 13 bucks. However, I took a picture of us while they were taking ours. They started to get a little nervous but let us do anyway.



The two pictures above show the northern view (Thanks for correcting me David) from the top of the Empire State Building and the two of us posing for a self-portrait.
