Rich & Paul's home in the leafy New Jersey suburban town of Teaneck
The George Washington Bridge, an ever-recurring theme to my week
Rich, Tony & Paul at the start of our long walk around the New York Botanical Gardens
It looks a bit like Kew
Here are some nice plant photos. Don't ask me what they all are!
Weirdy butterfly flower
Blue!
Weirdy blue!
A giant fern unfurls
Passion flowers
Ah!
Cactus flowers
Prickly pear
Some kind of aloe
Foxgloves galore in their "Darwin's Garden" exhibit
Pitcher plants
Wow! How red?
A dogwood tree in bloom
Many tulips
What a great name for a bar!
The home of the gay rights movement
Me, doing my best impersonation of an American
Gingko trees in the centre of New York
The latest in high-speed chase vehicles
Rich & Rich
The New Museum - groovy building
And you've gotta love that over your front door!
The view from the top, looking uptown towards the Empire State building
Here's the Empire State and the Chrysler building together
Looking east over the East River towards Queens
The stairwell of the museum
Street art can be political
Mmmm! Just had to have a Mr Whippy
Me in the act of purchasing my snack
Yay! Big fat cars! Something you don't see so much any more in the US

Sunset over the Hudson River
The George Washington Bridge at dusk
Times Square by day - check out the Statue of Liberty impersonator
The Radio City Music Hall, resplendent in art deco touches
Me posing in front of the statue of Prometheus at the Rockefeller Plaza
No, sadly we didn't. But they were everywhere!
Times Square by night
They light the Empire State building different colours every night
From the George Washington Bridge looking downtown one morning
A real-life diner!
Leaving the mainland of Long Island to head over to Fire Island
No cars allowed here!
Over the boardwalk...
...onto the beach (Rich gets his kite up)
A horseshoe crab - we flipped him over and made sure he got wet
Ah! What a beach!
Rich shows me how to do it
One of the many nice houses on Fire Island
Heading back to New York
Heading back to New Jersey
You guessed it! The George Washington Bridge - again!
Apparently you're not even allowed to take pictures of it, owing to terrorism. Whatever.
From our cruise boat on the Hudson River
Where the twin towers used to be...
There she is!
With a New York taxi thrown in for good measure
If you glance quickly enough, you could be forgiven for thinking you're in Hong Kong
That Empire State building really is fab
The Museum of Modern Art
The start of the "Colour" exhibition
My favourite Kandinsky
The best way to ease away the strains of the day: Rich & Paul's outdoor hot tub!
