Pictures taken on January 15
This is actually our very first photo taken in New York City the day we arrived. Here we passed through downtown Manhattan on our way to the New York New York South Mission office in Queens on Long Island, NY January 15, 2008!
That's right! The pictures were taken through the windshield of our well-traveled, very dirty, heavy laden Odyssey van. But who could pass up a shot like this? New York at its finest - hustle and bustle!
"Why did it take so long to get these pictures uploaded from my camera?" you ask. Well...for some reason I had taken twelve photos on the internal memory of my Kodak EasyShare. I had why, and therefore had no idea how to get them out of there! Then I forgot all about them and actually thought I had lost them until today.
The pictures bring back good memories of our first drive through the "big city" on our way to meet our mission president and his wife, President and Sister Steven Bennion, CES Coordinater Cory Bangerter, and other senior couples who work at the mission office in Queens, NY.
We were thrilled to be driving through the heart of Manhattan at lunch hour! I was on the phone with one of our daughters - "You won't believe...we just passed Times Square...and, oh my gosh we're truly at Broadway." I can't believe this is the most direct route to get to the mission office. Getting anywhere in New York, you go through Manhattan - that still surprises me. It's wonderful!

I think that's the corner of 42nd and the Avenue of the Americas, right? That small plaza there is really nice, "quiet" place in the middle of Manhattan. I like this picture.
I know exacally where that picture was taken. It brings back great memories!
