The top of things


We wound our way through and up to the top of the Empire State building at 9pm. Not too many people. Easily could have taken three hours if there had been crowds, based on all the velvet ropes and tensa barriers we passed. A flight to the top -- 84 floors above Manhattan at 10 floors per second. Strangely quiet. Snowing and windy. We stood outside over the lights. A blurry glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. And then the gift shop.
