The Brooklyn Bridge

As much as these kinds of photos should probably be avoided, who can resist revisiting such an awesome moment. A kindly elderly gentleman offered to take this picture for us, temporarily leaving his post selling iced water on this cruelly hot day to furnish us with this ever-lasting testament to my love of cheesy tourist photos (much to poor Anj's chargrin/ongoing frustration etc). Still the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn Heights into lower Manhattan was a real highlight. The view across the East River into Manhattan was breath-taking the whole way.
