I met with Ramon Bonfil and Vardis Tsontos at the American Museum of Natural History near Central Park... We just visited the Biodiversity and the Ocean sections of the Museum... Amazing! A real size Blue Whale suspended under the Ocean dome... You could probably spend a week in this museum, and not being able to see and read everything... We then went to Chinatown to eat something... Some more walking around in New York City... I went up the Empire State Building with Karl Laroche and Alison Kock one evening during the workshop... Wonderful view over the city! New York by night is like a giant Christmas tree... and life in the street only seems to start... I met Ramon and Kerry at the Battery Park to go on a roundtrip across the Hudson River with the Staten Island Ferry...
