Exploring NYC - Day 2

We started out the day with breakfast/lunch at Tom's restaurant in Brooklyn.

Fun fact about Tom's - it is so loved by the residents that in 1968 after Martin Luther King's assassination, people of all races linked arms around the restaurant to keep it from being torched during the riot. 

We learned so many interesting things about the places we visited.

We had a bit of a photo shoot on the walk to the restaurant.

I love these pictures and how pretty does it look?  I REALLY enjoyed the fall weather.

After lunch, we took the subway to Manhattan and walked for hours.

Here are some pictures from our day:

We came across the big protest against corporate greed that was happening in the city.

I was captivated - I had never seen anything like it.

There were police officers everywhere, the protesters were chanting and marching the streets, news reporters were there from ABC and NBC...

I even sat by a man on the plane to NYC who was flying from Pensacola to be a part of the protest - he couldn't wait to get there.

After hours of walking, we stopped for a little rest...

and then we were off walking again...

Day 3 was really eventful - will post about it tomorrow!
