New York 2010

We had a great visit with Tyotia Vika and Uncle Nick in Albany, NY. In the 4 days that we were there we went for a hike in Catskill Mountains to a waterfall taller than Niagara Falls, Olana House, to NYC, to downtown Albany and to Boston. Kristina was such a good little traveler, with all the waking up early and driving around she was a pro at vacationing. It was a great vacation for all.
Kristina and Austin, the gentle giant, such a sweet dog.

Olana House - American painter Frederick Church's (1926 - 1900) house overlooking Hudson River

New York City

Sign for world peace - ruins found in World Trade Center remains

On our way to Ellis Island (warning - after 911 be prepared to spend 2 hours through security before boarding boat. Two people in front of us, foreigners, were carrying knives in spite of all the warning messages. Sad, very sad).

Beautiful Victoria competing with NYC skyline
