Happy July 4th, 2009 – NYC Fireworks !

Happy Independence Day!

The fireworks in New York city this year were in the Hudson River and, honestly, I wasn’t expecting to see any, but we were able to go to a friend’s roof in Manhattan (43rd street & 9th ave) and we had the chance to see some nice booms and bangs between the buildings!

Comments would be very much appreciated!
