Rockefeller Center
My friends holiday came to an end last weekend, and with great sadness, I bid them goodbye as they took off to their native France. It’s always great seeing Nathalie again, especially after several years being apart from each other. On this trip, she brought her friend Lucie, and so I got to meet someone who I have a feeling that I’ll get to be friends with, as the years go by. Since I played the tourist the majority of the time they were here, I took them to some of my favorite places. The Rockefeller Center reminded me, again and again, how art deco plays a major part in the city which I love.Walking around The Rockefeller Center
