These two amazing pictures were taken by Wasim Shafi - one of the guys at Deloitte Cayman. Aren't they just amazing? It does get like that here sometimes. Tropical Storm/Hurricane Ernesto missed us, and we actually would never have been able to tell there was a storm about 200 miles away from us. Very wierd.
ITS COMING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!
Tropical Depression 5 is expected to develop into a Category 1 Hurricane (the first of the Atlantic season) by 2pm Monday 27 August 2006. We're in for a bit of a ride. Map courtesy of www.wunderground.com
We travelled to New York last week - quite an experience to be in the greatest city of them all. After our inital cab ride from Newark to Manhattan and the dive of a hotel that we were booked into, we settled in nicely at Tania Lynn's (an ex-colleague of mine from Deloitte Cayman) temporary accomodation in Mid-town New York.
We did a ferry around the island, Battery Park, a walk through Greenwich Village, the 9/11 memorial wall, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station (multiple times), Trinity Church, Wall Street, Coney Island, a Broadway Show (Spamalot), Times Square, the Museum of Natural History, a walk through Central Park, as well as much clothes, books and electronics shopping...
Check out our online photo album for all the pictures. The one of me is taken on the Ferry - with Brooklyn Bridge in the background. The one of Ang is on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, with the Chrysler Building in frame.
