a trip to mecca and the top of the rock

I've been to NY a bunch of times, but I never took the opportunity to visit B and H. Their new superstore is amazing. The whole thing is automated with a complex overhead trolley system that delivers the product to the sales person for inspection, and then to the front desk for checkout. Quite amazing really, definitely worth the price of admission.
No recession here, the store was full of foreign and domestic travelers spending cash.
Spent some time salivating over the new 5d mark II. 
Walked from 34th and 9th to lunch and then to meet kitty at rockefeller center to check out the top of the rock. Its really cold in New York, even colder than yesterday, even colder on the 69th floor observation deck of rockefeller center.
Watched the sun set and then waited for the city lights to shine. The temperature was 27 degrees and falling. 
Cool art installation at the top of the rock. A room that senses the occupants and follows their movements. Adrian jumped around the room for a full 10 minutes with a blue aura tracking him.
