A comfortable 4.5 hour train journey from Boston to New York with great coastal views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A while since any of us last visited and still as crazy as ever. Off the train and straight into a New York sports bar to watch Brazil v Scotland then stepped out of Penn Station to a view of the Empire Stare building and in to the traffic, noise, crowds and madness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading for Times Square the World Cup being properly embraced in New York. Masses of Ecuador fans (really) in the city and all going crazy in Times Square hugely outnumbering the Germans who they play tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met up with the Walls eventually (too many Irish bars with the same name) and then watched the light show just before mid night when all the advertising displays get in sync for an art show that we really didn’t get… Meanwhile the Ecuador fans were still singing and dancing as we headed for one last drink in a very New York whiskey dive bar…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
