ROOSEVELT ISLAND & ROOSEVELT'S 4 HOPES MONUMENT

There is a tram that crosses the East River from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island.  This was an outing that held a lot of unknowns for us so we looked for a day that left us free to wander.
























 






The architect, Louis Kahn, designed several quite famous structures, among them the Kimbell Art Museum in Ft. Worth, Texas.  Interestingly, he was found dead in a restroom in Penn Station, just one block from where we now live.





The United Nations Building across the East River from Roosevelt Island.







Walking back to the Queensboro Bridge and the ride back to Manhattan on the Tram.
