Another beautiful old building is the Plaza Hotel, located right across the street from Central Park. It is now being converted to condos as are many buildings in Midtown because they bring in lots of income to the owners.
On Jan 24, 2009 we left on an Adventure Caravan with 20 other Recreational Vehicles to tour the Yucatan and Colonial Mexico. It was a 59 day tour, a great time and an awesome learning experience.
