Avoiding New York

New York from the Hudson River bridgeWe drove around New York, not wanting to get caught in the rushhour traffic. Even at this distance (about 18 miles from Manhattan), the traffic was dense. From looking at the map, the skyscrapers in the photo are probably in Manhattan.
We had planned to drive to Christiane and Pete’s, but it turned out to be too far for me to drive. Mary-Anne is not insured to drive the car, thanks to Alamo refusing to honour the contract with Sunny Cars, their agent in Switzerland.
