A night in the City~and a Day to Write a Post

Since my Computer is working in super slow speed and I can't seem to get a post written in less than three hours I have decided to just post a few times a week until after Christmas  when I can try and fix this stupid stinking pile of junk I loosely call a computer....Do I sound too angry?

But since we all know that I am NOT going to trash the computer I will try to post a post today EVEN IF IT TAKES ME ALL STINKING DAY!!!!


                       

OK, I feel a bit better



SOOOOOOO anyhoo,
                On Friday a we went into the city to see the Radio City Christmas Show starring the Rockettes. It was the first time for my friend who was visiting and I think she was quite overwhelmed by the crowds. You see before moving to Upstate New York she and her husband were stationed in Alaska. Big difference for sure! 

We left the house at 4:30 and just made it to the 7pm show. Parking in the city at Christmas time is the biggest pain in the butt ever. I should have taken the train but that would have set her over the edge I think.

The show was great as always and the Rockettes were beautiful and flawless in routines that have been a staple of the show since 1933.
                                    
 I have to admit however that my very favorite part is the living Nativity scene. it is breathtaking.

                              
 That is a real camel in the back right corner

I must have taken a hundred pictures! Later on after the show I heard over the loudspeaker that pictures of the show were strictly forbidden. SOOOO I guess I am technically a criminal on the lam.

Later we walked over to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and stood in the midst of a sea of people who were also trying to get the perfect shot.
                               
                                 There is an ice skating rink below
                but I couldn't get close enough to include it in the picture



Then off to St. Patrick's Cathedral....leaves me in awe every time.

                               
The view as you walk into the church

                                                                 The Pieta 
The Pieta was sculpted in 1906 by William Ordway Partiridge. It was inspired by Michelangelo's Pieta in St. Peter's Cathedral at the Vatican in Rome.
The chief sculptor was Francesco LoDestro



I hope you enjoyed the pics....now if  New York's finest (police officers) drop by your home asking about some illegal pictures taken at Radio City...MUMS the word OK?
