Hi,
We made it out of bed by 4:30 AM this morning and got down to NBC Studios by 8:00 for the broadcasting of the Today Show. Got to see Meredith Veira, Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Ann Curry, and Tiki Barber. They would come out on the Plaza at different times to do parts of the show. When they were inside the studio doing interviews, the crowd could stand outside the studio windows and wave and be seen on TV. We could be seen in the background when Meredith is interviewing Jamie Foxx. To see the video clip, you can click on the following link: http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?f=00&g=991c12c0-7978-4d0d-830a-e4ba5ae2fd83&p=News_Editors%20Picks&t=m5&rf=http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/12065856/&fg=Then we also saw Matt Lauer interview Tony Bennett in the studio. Outside we also were seen in the crowd while a "tango" dancing segment was done. Got some pictures and it was fun watching how everything takes place during a broadcast. Also visiting with the people that were around us in the crowd was fun. We were there for about two hours.
After the Today Show we had some lunch and then just walked around Broadway and Times Square doing some souvenir shopping and just trying to take in all the excitement of NYC as we knew it would be our last day in the Big Apple.
Got back to the campground about 4:00. We had some new neighbors that had moved in next to us and we visited with them. We exchanged some travel information -- they gave us information on Boston and we gave them our maps and time schedules for the trains and subways in New York City and showed them how we got around. They are a real nice couple from California and are on a three-month trip.
Larry is tired tonight so I told him I would type the blog. It will be an early night for us tonight since we got up so early. Hopefully, tomorrow we can sleep in for awhile. Plan to leave in the morning sometime and head to Boston. Take care everyone and thanks so much for the E-mails. Love, Larry and Glenda
