A Quick Tour of Times Square

Today was a bit of a difficult day for me. The exhausting schedule of the previous week meant that I really needed some sleep. It's hard enough to pull off a whirlwind tour, but to try doing so while protecting an injury until I can have surgery next week is something else entirely. I tried to get up and around this morning. I made it as far as the Starbuck's across the street, then thought better of it and headed back to the room. I was pretty high on the discomfort scale once I got to walking around. But, once I got into a reclining position again, I felt better. The result? I ended up sleeping again, from 10am to almost 3pm. Sleep much needed, I might add.

When I woke up, I felt a lot better. Overall, it does feel good to move about when the hernia isn't acting up. So, later, as dusk was settling over the city, I bundled up and took a stroll around Times Square. This time, I made it beyond the Starbuck's, and captured some images for R and M to enjoy.

So, without further ado, here they are:


Here's the view right out the front door of the W Hotel, where I'm staying:


And here's where, in Times Square, my hotel is. This shot looks south:




And a couple videos of the same area:





Times Square. You can see the New Year's Ball on the top of the building. In this photo, the ball is blue:



You can sometimes find some of New York's most famous celebrities in Times Square:


And, since Broadway runs through the center of Times Square, you can find many of the major Broadway theaters here. See if you can recognize what show is playing HERE, kids:

So there's the tour. What I'm capable of tomorrow remains to be seen. I've got plenty of work related things to do anyway. If I don't get out of the hotel, I'll still be well occupied.
