Fall season in New York

We have had an enjoyable fall in New York. We have enjoyed the changing colors of the leaves.

On one of our recent preparation days we strolled through Central Park.

A Japanese man took our picture. Most of the people in the park are from some other country. This is truly an international place.

The colorful leaves were in full bloom.

It is remarkable how you can have nature in the middle of a large city. Central Park is truly a major gathering place.

After our walk in the park we of course developed an appetite.  We had to get something at this famous ice cream shop.

It looks like we were well fed doesn't it.

We saw more beautiful leaves on our trip to West Point with senior couples.

Our group had a special tour of the Academy given by Major Cook, a friend of the church. We got to see things that most visitors do not get to see.

The large mess hall which feeds 4400 soldiers at a time was truly amazing.

The cadets are taught a strict on a code which we should all follow.

West Point is a strategic location in the Hudson river which was very important in the Revolutionary war. We were able to prevent the British from taking over the river and thus dividing the colonies.

It was a great outing. We really enjoy the senior missionary opportunities. We have an active group of senior missionaries in our mission. We look forward to our monthly activities together.
