Back in the U.S. of A.

We cruised into the New York harbor around 4:30 this morning and had to wait our turn before the Harbor Pilot could steer us into our berth in Brooklyn.  I counted 5 other cruise ships pulling into either the Manhattan or Brooklyn docks.  Plus there were a slew of cargo ships waiting to get into port.  We tied up to our berth a short time after 6AM and below is what we saw from our stateroom window.

No matter how far and wide we travel it feels good to be back in the USA!
