Hey guys,
This is Episode 12 of 34 of our road trip across the USA. We traveled to 26 US States and 3 Canadian States over 6 1/2 months. This is where our vlogging journey really began.... We filmed alot, drove alot and Ian edited alot.
Today is a very special day as our new G7X arrived (YAY!) so we're super excited to test it out, and start producing high quality vlogs!! :-)
Is it crazy to ride bikes around the circumference of Manhattan, New York City, in a single day?
I had no idea. Googling it would take to long so we just decided to give it a try.
We started in Park Slope, Brooklyn and crossed into Manhattan over the Manhattan Bridge. We headed north through China Town and along the FDR waterway where we saw a lot of neat things like biplanes, skylines and bridges.
We had to enter into the treacherous city to cross the section of coast between the Queens Midtown Tunnel and the Queensborough Bridge. This was crazy with traffic and horns and unexpected people and hills and.... Anyways, we got little to no footage of that because we were in survival mode.
The coast north of that is fun and unpopulated. As we neared the top of the island, a swarm of bridges stopped us in our tracks from keeping to the coast. We crossed through Harlem to have lunch in Marcus Garvey Park.
Then it was northbound along the higher levels of Morningside park and Highbridge Park. This is a great way to see the city. We dropped down into Inwood and made it to the top of the island of Manhattan which, I believe can be found at the loop at the end of Inwood Hill Park.
We didn't realize that the bike path south of La Marina is a dead end. It's a beautiful dead end, but if your intention is to bike the west coast of Manhattan, this will be a waste of your time. Repeat: That bike path is a dead end!
We pick up speed along the Hudson River Greenway and make it all the way down to the Battery, passing iconic things like the intrepid sea, air and space museum, One Liberty Tower, yacht clubs, ferry terminals and so much more.
Finally, our story ends on the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset.
It's a bike trek of 30+ miles which took us about 10 hours to complete. This is not the best trip for everyone, but if you like biking and you want to learn New York City quickly, I can't think of a better way to spend the day.

The Erie Canal Documentary - Geographic History
The Erie Canal Documentary - Geographic History.
From the first days of the expansion of the British colonies from the coast of North America into the heartland of the continent, a recurring problem was that of transportation between the coastal ports and the interior. Close to the seacoast, rivers often provided adequate waterways, but the presence of the Appalachian Mountains, 400 miles (640 km) inland, presented a great challenge. Passengers and freight had to travel overland, a journey made more difficult by the rough condition of the roads. In 1800, it typically took 2.5 weeks to travel overland from New York to Cleveland, Ohio [460 miles (740 km)]; 4 weeks to Detroit [612 miles (985 km)].

Venture II Intracoastal to NY
In the autumn of 2007, a Fleming 65 named Venture started south from the Pacific Northwest on a voyage that would ultimately take her and her crew down the west coast of north and central America, out to the Galapagos Islands, through the Panama Canal and up the east coast of the USA into the Great Lakes and down the St Lawrence Seaway to Nova Scotia. In Part 5 Venture heads up the Intracoastal Waterway from Fort Lauderdale to New York and into the Hudson River.

What is the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW)?
Did you know the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) runs for 3000 miles – from the Eastern seaboard in New Jersey, where it connects with the Atlantic Ocean, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico in Brownsville, Texas? And it also runs right alongside our little beach community.
This extraordinary network of canals, inlets, bays, and rivers consists of both natural and man-made waterways.
Divided into what is known as the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, together they form the “Great Loop” – a safe, navigable route along the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. This loop provides a protected waterway without the hazards of traveling long distances in the open seas.
Different sections of the Intracoastal Waterway are used by different groups.
Some segments are clearly commercial in nature while other areas may have been commercial once, but are now mostly recreational.
There is a very large community of “snowbirds” on boats that travel up and down the ICW every season to go south for the winter and then back north again come summertime. Many use the Waterway for most or all of the trip.
Since everything from massive commercial barges to light “pleasure” crafts utilize the Intracoastal Waterway, some people may incorrectly envision it as a super-fast highway for boats, but speeds are limited in many “no wake zone” areas, so it’s more scenic than speedy.
The history of the Intracoastal Waterway is fascinating too. The concept dates back more than two hundred years to 1808. Initially stymied by Congress, over the next several decades, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers carried out a series of surveys and construction began with the help of private investors.
The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway has remained one of the most heavily traveled and economically important marine routes in the entire nation.
The discovery of oil in the Gulf of Mexico eventually led Congress to authorize the connection of existing canals between New Orleans and Galveston Bay. By 1949, the ICW extended as far south as as Brownsville, Texas, right on the Mexican border.
The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway plays a major role in commercial traffic, providing access to offshore oil rigs and serving as a gateway to the Gulf of Mexico for the all-important fishing industry.
It offers some of the best boating opportunities in the United States, including ‘eco-tours‘ in the Florida Panhandle.
Here in South Walton, the Intracoastal Waterway can be found a few miles north of Scenic Highway 30-A and Point Washington State Forest.
Choctawhatchee Bay (which is part of the ICW) is supplied with fresh water from Choctawhatchee River as well as many creeks and springs. Its only direct opening to the Gulf of Mexico is through the relatively shallow East Pass on the west side of Destin. But Choctawhatchee Bay also opens to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in the east and to Santa Rosa Sound and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterways in the west.
This fascinating network of waterways is quite literally in our backyard and offers boaters and paddlers endless opportunities to travel and explore.
Its rich history and import role as a major commercial boating artery is one more reason to be amazed and proud of our little slice of paradise.
NYC lights skyline in honor of France, Notre Dame Cathedral
The Empire State Building leads the New York City skyline as it lights up in honor of France and the Notre Dame Cathedral tonight.
o celebrate our New York Spectacular, we Rockettes flipped the switch at the Empire State Building on Wednesday, June 15, to light up the New York City skyline with the spectacular colors of summer: yellow, orange and white!
“We are so thrilled to be here at the Empire State Building in honor of the opening of the New York Spectacular,” says Rockette Courtney, who was joined by her fellow Rockette sisters Rachel, Maranda and Kristen. “There’s no better place to celebrate the opening of the New York Spectacular than at the Empire State Building.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve turned on the building’s bright lights with the push of a button! It’s become somewhat of a tradition on our first day of performances. To celebrate the opening of the 2015 Radio City Christmas Spectacular, we flipped the switch to light up the New York City skyline with the colors of the holiday seas
So when did the Empire State Building first shine its lights? On May 1, 1931. The Empire State Building officially opened for business when President Herbert Hoover turned on the building’s lights with the push of a button from Washington, D.C. Since then, the landmark skyscraper and its brilliant lights have become an iconic part of the New York City skyline.
About 45 years later, in 1976, visitors and residents alike were wowed when the building went Technicolor for the first time, donning red, white and blue to mark the nation’s bicentennial. Since its first foray into color, the Empire State Building has never looked back.
Here are a few more fun facts to celebrate the Empire State Building (and our New York Spectacular!):
In 2012, the Empire State Building swapped its color gels for a new LED lighting system capable of creating a staggering 16,000,000 different color combinations.
Thursdays-Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m., hear a saxophonist on the 86th floor Observatory.
The Empire State Building is home to so many businesses that it has its own ZIP code: 10118.
On a clear day, visitors to the Empire State Building’s observation decks can see five states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
On foggy autumn and spring nights, the lights are turned off so that migrating birds don’t get confused by the bright lights and fly into the building.
Couples who marry on the 80th floor each year on Valentine’s Day become members of the Empire State Building Wedding Club, and receive free admission to the observatory each year on their February 14th anniversary.
The Empire State Building is struck by lightning an average of 23 times a year.
Couples should be careful kissing on the top of the Empire State Building because the static electricity is so strong that people on the observatory floor can see sparks when they smooch.
Driving Downtown - Ft Lauderdale Beach 4K - USA
Beach Town Driving - Fort Lauderdale Beach Florida USA - Episode 6.
Starting Point: .
Fort Lauderdale (frequently abbreviated as Ft. Lauderdale) is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 28 miles (45 km) north of Miami.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C), and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% bed tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Economy
Fort Lauderdale's economy has diversified over time. From the 1940s through the 1980s, the city was known as a spring break destination for college students. However, the college crowd has since dwindled, with the city now attracting wealthier tourists. Cruise ships and nautical recreation provide the basis for much of the revenue raised by tourism. There is a convention center located west of the beach and southeast of downtown, with 600,000 square feet (55,742 m2) of space, including a 200,000-square-foot (18,581 m2) main exhibit hall. Approximately 30% of the city's 10 million annual visitors attend conventions at the center.
The downtown area, especially around Las Olas Boulevard, first underwent redevelopment starting in 2002 and now hosts many new hotels and high-rise condominium developments. The downtown area is the largest in Broward County, although there are other cities in the county with commercial centers. Office buildings and highrises include Las Olas River House, Las Olas Grand, 110 Tower (formerly AutoNation Tower), Bank of America Plaza, One Financial Plaza, Broward Financial Center, One East Broward Boulevard, Barnett Bank Plaza, PNC Center, New River Center, One Corporate Center, SunTrust Centre, 101 Tower, and SouthTrust Tower.
The Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area foreclosures increased 127.4% from 2006 to 2007, or one filing per 48 households in the quarter. Fort Lauderdale ranks fourth in the list of top 10 metropolitan areas ranked by foreclosure filings per household for the third quarter of 2007.
Fort Lauderdale is a major manufacturing and maintenance center for yachts. The boating industry is responsible for over 109,000 jobs in the county. With its many canals, and proximity to the Bahamas and Caribbean, it is also a popular yachting vacation stop, and home port for 42,000 boats, and approximately 100 marinas and boatyards. Additionally, the annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the world's largest boat show, brings over 125,000 people to the city each year.
Companies based in the Fort Lauderdale area include AutoNation, Citrix Systems, DHL Express, Spirit Airlines, and National Beverage Corporation. The largest employers in the county are Tenet Healthcare, which employs 5,000 people; American Express, which employs 4,200; The Continental Group, which employs 3,900; Motorola, which employs 3,000, and Maxim Integrated Products, which employs 2,000.
Gulfstream International Airlines, a commuter airline, is headquartered in nearby Dania Beach. An Online Trading Academy center is also located in the city.
Lifestyle
As is true of many parts of Florida, the city's population has a strong seasonal variation, as snowbirds from the northern United States, Canada, and Europe north spend the winter and early spring in Florida. The city is also sometimes referred to as Fort Liquordale because of its beaches, bars, nightclubs, and history as a spring break location, back in the 1960s and 1970s, for tens of thousands of college students. However, the city has actively discouraged college students from visiting the area since the mid-1980s, passing strict laws aimed at preventing the mayhem that regularly occurred each year in the 1970's and 1980's. The city had an estimated 350,000 college visitors for spring break 1985; by 2006, that number had declined to about 10,000. Since the 1990's, Fort Lauderdale has increasingly become a location that caters to those seeking the resort lifestyle seasonally or year round and is often a host city to many professional venues, concerts, and art shows.

Randalls and Wards Islands
Randalls Island and Wards Island are conjoined islands, collectively called Randalls and Wards Islands, in the New York City borough of Manhattan, separated from Manhattan by the Harlem River, from Queens by the East River and Hell Gate, and from the Bronx by the Bronx Kill. The two islands were formerly separate, with the channel between them, Little Hell Gate, being filled in by the early 1960s.
The island had a population of 1,648 living on 2.09 square kilometers in 2010. Most of the island is parkland, spanning a total of 432.69 acres. The parks offer athletic fields, a driving range, greenways, playgrounds and picnic grounds. The island also has a history of being used for asylums, hospitals, and cemeteries, and is currently home to several public facilities, including two psychiatric hospitals, a state police station, a fire academy, a water treatment plant, and several homeless shelters.

EAST COAST GREENWAY - WikiVidi Documentary
The East Coast Greenway is a 3000 mi biking and walking route linking the major cities of the Atlantic coast of the United States, from Calais, Maine, to Key West, Florida. The spine route and branching complementary routes are for non-motorized human transportation for everything from local commutes to long-distance trips. The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991. The entire route has been selected. As of July 2017, 900 mi, or 32 percent of the route, is off-road on traffic-protected greenways. The vision is for the entire trail to be off-road....

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Brooklyn () is the most populous borough of New York City, with a census-estimated 2,648,771 residents in 2017. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens, at the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn also has several bridge connections to the boroughs of Manhattan (across the East River) and Staten Island (across the Verrazano Narrows Bridge). Since 1896, the borough has been coterminous with Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after the county of New York (which is coextensive with the borough of Manhattan).With a land area of 71 square miles (180 km2) and water area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Kings County is New York's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area, though it is the second-largest among the city's five boroughs. Today, if New York City dissolved, Brooklyn would rank as the third-most populous city in the U.S. after Los Angeles and Chicago.
Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city (and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution) until January 1, 1898, when, after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the new Municipal Charter of Greater New York, Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York, surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn's official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is Eendraght Maeckt Maght, which translates from early modern Dutch as Unity makes strength.
In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant garde destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increases, and a decrease in housing affordability. Since 2010, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology startup firms, and of postmodern art and design.

A trip around the Pan-American Exposition, Part 2
SUMMARY
The entire film was photographed from an excursion vessel traveling through all of the waterways surrounding the Exposition. The major exhibit buildings and amusement attractions of the fair can be seen as the boat makes its way through the area, going through tunnels and under bridges.
From a contemporary Edison film company catalog: A TRIP AROUND THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. Ungeprueft [code for telegraphic orders]. The Pan-American Exposition is encircled by an especially constructed canal, which was put in for the purpose of allowing the tourist to view the exterior of the buildings of the Pan-American Exposition with as little fatigue as possible. It is called the Grand Canal, is over a mile in length and extends around the central group of large buildings. Winding lagoons connecting with the canal branch off in all directions. The Mirror Lakes in the Southern portion of the canal form a picturesque feature and add ten fold interest to this picture. The electric launches which make the trip around the exposition, and which are controlled by the Venice in America Co., represent the climax of comfort and elegance. The ride is a refreshing one with charming views at every turn. Romantic bridges span the waterway at convenient points, statuary placed everywhere contribute to the picturesque effect. The above named picture was secured by special permission of Mr. Burgee, of the Venice in America Co., and our picture was made from the bow of an especially chartered electric launch which made the trip for us at a high rate of speed. We give below as near as possible a detailed description of the different points of interest as they are recorded by the camera, and just as they are viewed by the visitor himself in making the trip in one of these exquisite launches.
Part 2: In the trip from the Streets of Venice to the Electric Tower we pass many electric launches, and gondolas laden with tourists who are making merry as our camera passes them. Three of the gondolas contain the Venetian Band and many of the pretty girls of the Streets of Venice, all of which attend to make the picture highly interesting. Having encircled and passed the Electric Tower, our boat takes an eastward course until it reaches the Stadium, when it passes under another of the exquisite bridges and turns abruptly to the south. Continuing its southern course it passes the east entrance of the U.S. Government Building and the U.S. Ordinance Exhibit, where the heavy artillery and large disappearing guns are observed mounted in their respective places. Our launch then swings to the eastward and continues a short distance when it again takes a southerly course and passes the south entrance of the U.S. Government Building, approaches and passes the Forestry and the grounds of the Six Nations of the American Indians, where their camps, log huts, wigwams, etc., are observed. We then turn to the eastward passing under a series of bridges with sculptural decorations that are unexcelled, and merging into the east end of Mirror Lake. Now comes the most interesting portion of this wonderful film. We follow in an easterly direction through Mirror Lake, skirting the north bank and taking in the pergola, and bearing steadily toward the main entrance and Fore Court of the Exposition grounds
