Night time in the City

We had the opportunity to go way down town to: CHINA TOWN. Elder Smith, our Zone Leader who was transfered today was sent down to China Town. He is actually going back to his original area where he speaks Chinese. We offered to take his luggage to him as he was suppose to take it on the subway with him. His apartment is on the corner of China town and Little Italy. No kidding. This is a very busy, narrow noisy, one way street. All the roads on Manhattan are mostly one way streets. There is about 15 restaurants on this one block, a real tourist attraction. It was really fun to walk the street. (This is where we bought hats for all or you grandkids.) We ate at a restaurant that has been there since 1905, VINCENTS. It was yummy. Of course Doug had Fetticinni Alfredo. He really liked it.
We are traveling down the east side of Manhattan Island with a view of Queens to the left of us.
Queens boro bridge. The lights are so cool at night time. Volunteering to take Elder Smith's luggage was probably a selfish offer. We wanted the experience. But he was very grateful.
This sign is on Long Island, in Queens. It was so bright and glowing over the water. We met Elder Smith and a brand new greeny outside of his apartment. The new greeny, another Elder Kelly from Utah, didn't know what to think of New York. His jaw was still on the side walk as we walked away.

New York takes on a whole different look and atmosphere in the night time. We were down town the day before checking out an apartment for the sisters there just down the street from China Town. What a difference between night and day. It is so exciting and we are having a great time.
