Forty Dollars Per Hour






That's what it cost the Skinners to
stay one night in the centre of New York City,
ride the ferry to spend an afternoon on Liberty Island,
see a Broadway Show "Memphis" ,
Go to the top of The Empire State Building
and Eat Lunch on Times Square.

We also had that much fun.

We stayed one night
at a tiny hotel that was built into existing buildings
from the last century, I think,
with nothing but a door showing on the sidewalk
red walls in the rooms,
But very nice management and close enough to walk
everywhere.

We thought Times Square looked like Las-Vegas-on-steroids
(Las Vegas before the economic crash, that is)
