We got here yesterday and were happy to learn our hotel room had a view of the Statue of Liberty. After settling in, we stopped to have a knish at a street vendor and then made our way to Ground Zero which about a block from the hotel. Really amazing to stop and think about what the people here went through on 9/11.
Next we headed to Union Square and then walked to Bryant Park to have smores. We then took a bicycle rickshaw to Central Park and then stopped to eat at Terry's favorite afghan restaurant. We ended the night with a trip to Times Square. I asked Hunter if he would move to New York - he said he wasn't ready to leave Texas. His first choice would be to have a farm in Texas and an apartment in New York.
This morning we had brunch in the Bowery and then stopped to let Hunter play in the park for a while. Not sure we will make it to the Statue of Liberty today - may wait for tomorrow when there is less of a crowd. The line for the ferry is VERY long right now. Think we will head to St. Patrick's Cathedral and then see what happens.
It has been so nice having Terry here to take us around since he knows the city so well. He's awesome!
Will post pics when we get back.
