AIA Architectural Tour Around Manhattan

On Friday we took the AIA Architectural Tour around Manhattan.  Two architects were on board the small boat to point out all the buildings along the waterfront and those that towered above the others in the interior.  They spoke as fast as they could, trying to cover everything.  It was a very informative tour.  We all three thoroughly enjoyed it.  Here are some pictures.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
