Rockefeller Center

Harvey and I also visited Rockefeller Center. It was a pretty area with a small ice skating rink, shops and a huge Christmas tree. The tree itself was huge but not very pretty. Tonight, they'll hold the official lighting ceremony. A tour guide on a Grayline bus we rode around Central Park said that it was expected something like 20,000 people would watch the ceremony.

One really cool thing we got to do while at the center was see the Today Show broadcasted live. Jerry Lee Lewis actually performed a song on the piano just 10 feet from where we were standing. It was fascinating to watch them put the show on and pretty cool too. I'd seen pictures of the Today Show being broadcast from there but, it was the first time I'd seen it in person.
