September 27, 2006 Tour of Manhattan

We walked to Time Square and caught a tour bus (should have done that the first day). It was really neat as you can get off and on as many times as you want in a 24 hour (our ticket) period. We saw all the important things that everyone says you need to see when you are there (Macy's, Staten Island Ferry, Time Square, Empire State Building, etc.) We got off in the Little Italy / Chinatown area and walked around. We had an early dinner in Little Italy and shopped in Chinatown before getting back on the bus. We got off the bus back at Central Park and took a horse drawn carriage through the park to the other side where we needed to go (I always wanted to do that - very romantic too). We stopped at a tapas restaurant (Spanish / Portuguese) and had a few drinks and a snack before going back to the boat. Mark bantered with the bar tender Diedra (DeDe) and had a lot of fun. When we were on the dinghy back to the boat we noticed that "Caribbean Dream" was moored and had caught up with us.
