Pictures of Hoboken
Every year, my company sends me to a two-day seminar which teaches me to work safely in the railroad. So this morning I had to leave home an hour earlier for Hoboken where the seminar is held and starting at 8:00 am. The seminar ended at 2:00pm so most of the attendees could make to the 2:13pm train. The next train that would connect to Newark Penn station would be 4:13pm. I did not have lunch so I was a little sluggish, took a wrong turn, and also walked too slowly to the Hoboken terminal. I missed the train by 30 seconds. I had nothing to do while I was waiting for the train. The book the Lord of the Rings I also finished. I had a sandwich and decided to explore around Hoboken a little bit. I walked along Sinatra Drive to view the great Waterfront and the Park along the Drive. I also visited Steven Institute of Technology part of the great landscapes in Hoboken. The late and heavy lunch made me really tired. Walking under the intense sun was a little hard but I got back on time for the 4:13pm train. Here are a few pictures of Hoboken terminal, Sinatra Drive Park, and Steven Institute of Technology.
One of the cafes within the Hoboken Terminal. A flower shop sells this bouquet for 12 dollars. The stain glass ceiling and the decorative handrails inside the terminal are recently restored.
The new clock tower. Sidewalk cafe along Sinatra Drive
The Cafe near Steven Institute of Technology. The Institute locates on the top of a hill. The wooden stairway leads from the Drive to the college. One of the buildings of the college and the waterfront view.
The sculpture is on the lawn of SIT. The door of a classic building. One of its ends is round like an ancient Greek theater. The stone fort was built since 1835. This kind fort always reminds me of knights, and princesses in legends or movies.
The Sinatra Park. A view of New York city Skyline. The facia of Hoboken Ternminal which was once Lakawanna Railroad.

I’ve been curious about this place.
Some people get mad about the inconvenience.
You go take nice pictures.
That’s what I like about you
It sounds like such a long day! Thanks for the pictures.

It does seem like a long day. I would be very upset to have to wait 2 hrs for the next train. At least you had things to do and places to look at…
