At the Top of the Rock with our Italian Tour Friends... AWESOME!

So, after all morning with Live with Kelly and Michael, we walked on down to Rockefeller Center....The Rock!  We were meeting up with Bev, John, and Pat... three of the great folks we got to travel through Italy with!  Bev and John came from NJ, while Pat traveled in from Connecticut. After gabbing in the lobby for a while, it was time to go to the Top of the Rock... It wasn't the clearest of days, but we still got some great shots.  This first picture though caught my eye.  It's the huge tree they decorate that stands above the Ice Arena.  They actually build scaffolding around it to decorate that thing.  Made perfect sense... It's not a live tree growing there, but a tree brought in from the local area.  And, when it's decorated... massive number of tiny lights!.
 
The lobby circular staircase... all sparkly in person!
 
The elevator goes up, up, up... the ceiling is glass and you look up and see the lights... like a runway landing light... and, man, it was fast!
 
Looking North at Central Park
 
John and Jer probably discussing something very manly!
 
Pat, John, Bev, Jer and that purple lady would be me!
 
We're so cute, we had to take a few pics of us!  Jillian was the Photographer! 
 
Jer and I!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh yeah... The Naked Cowboy!
 
We had a great lunch about 1:00... spent a bit of time chatting... then off walking again to find Lindy's for some of their famous Cheesecake... Course, Jerry had the Chocolate Cake... and a tiny piece at that... The East Coast Cheesecake is so much lighter than the stuff we get at home.  Reminded me I have a recipe of Mom's I should make... Like and fluffy... num...
