Grand Central Station

It amazes me that no matter what time Grand Central Station has many people walking its corridors. This picture was taken during the afternoon non-peak hours. I later came back during rush hour and the halls were packed! I didn't want to be another tourist blocking the way, so I opted not to take a picture at that time.

NYC Here I am Again

I didn't think I would make my yearly trip to New York this year. Luckily my company sent me to a conference in NY, so here I am. I had about two hours and I walked a few blocks and of course took pictures :)

Cute Kid

I have no idea who this little boy is, but on a day I took my nephew to the park I took a picture of this little guy as well. He's a cute kid isn't he?©2005 Araceli Arroyo photograph

An Autumn Day

The weather was a bit brisk and partially cloudy but it was a perfect autumn day. It was a perfect day to walk the dog, bike ride and stroll through the falling, colorful leaves.©2005 Araceli Arroyo photograph

Stranger Danger on Halloween

Just kidding, the guy standing in front of this bar was actually nice and friendly.

Gwen Stefani Concert

In July I bought myself tickets to the Gwen Stefani & Black Eyed Peas Concert as a gift to myself for my birthday. The date arrived and my sister and I went this Friday. THANK YOU ME! I loved the concert. Below are a few pictures of Gwen. I'll post a few of Black Eyed Peas soon.

Chicago White Sox Parade Photos

The City of Chicago celebrated the victory of the Chicago White Sox with a ticker tape parade this past Friday. The streets were packed with fans and Chicagoans enjoying a once in a life time style celebration. The White Sox players rode in a motorcade of Double-Decker tour buses through the city. The route started from the home of the White Sox - Cellular field through the streets of the loop, ending in a joyous pep rally at the corner of Wacker and LaSalle. I was fortunate to have the parade pass right in front of my office building. All I had to do is go down the elevator and walk to the street to get a great view...

Pumpkin Carving Event

I went to a halloween pumpkin carving event at a bar on the north side of the city. It was fun, I was amazed at the talent in some artistic renderings on these pumpkins. Not mine of course, I only carved a pumpkin once in third grade. Others clearly must have a few years of practice, at least at sculpting something.

Petting Zoo

Forgive me all you animal activist, I just couldn't help giving into a local petting zoo at a nearby park this past Sunday. My nephew was so excited and happy to be in the midst of so many cute furry creatures. I couldn't help it either they were just so darn cute! I was particularly fond of the Lama and her beautiful big brown eyes :)
