Better late than never?!

 
 
 
Due to circumstances beyond my understanding, I was unable to download these pictures until today.  My trusty Canon Point and Shoot stopped talking to my computer at the end of October.  I guess it's jealous of the Canon Rebel that I prefer to use now and acted out...
 
 

Arrival at the Jane Hotel in NYC
