the missed train

We just got back from our New York City visit. It was the first time I ventured the subway system without a fellow New Yorker to lead the way. We made it from the tip of Brooklyn to the American Museum of Natural History
in Manhattan, but missed one stop along the way. I missed the connection for the C train, so we decided to walk down 5th Ave and through Central Park to the museum. I look this picture along the way.
