Waterfalls!

One of our jaunts this past weekend was a Circle Line tour of Olafur Eliasson's New York City Waterfalls Exhibit. I'm a big fan of boat trips, ocean views, swimming and seafood, so this activity was right up my alley. And while these constructed waterfalls don't have the sound and the power of, say, Niagra, it was fun to see them, great to see New York from the unusual vantage point of the river, and even good to get a brief taste of tourist New York down by the Seaport.











And of course, because this is New York, there is a water taxi to take you directly from Manhattan to the new Ikea in Brooklyn...

Ooooh! That sounds really cool. Remind me to tell you about the waterfall trip that was part of my study abroad.

So, what was the IKEA water taxi's name? Vigdis? Rolf? Maybe Taksi? Did it have special places on-board for your furniture? Are the waterfalls lit up at night? Very cool idea.
