New York: Day 5

Sunday Hurricane Sandy was well on her way and our flight had been cancelled.

We knew that transportation would be shutting down that afternoon so we went into the city one last time. When we got there it was so gloomy and abandoned! 

We explored Battery Park, Drank Coffee and Hot Chocolate in a park, and walked through the oldest cemetery in the city. George Washington attended several services in the chapel.

Once I saw a rat run under a tombstone I knew it was time for us to head back to our hotel...Little did we know we'd be trapped there for the next couple of days.

New York: Day 3-4

On Saturday we visited the 9/11 Memorial.

The new Freedom Tower that they're building

There are two pools that have the names of everyone that lost their lives. They were so huge that they took your breath away when you stepped up to the edge.

This tree was the only one left standing. It survived the attacks, the fires that burned months after 9/11 and it was struck by lightening twice!

It was so beautiful and I'm really glad I had the opportunity to visit. Hopefully next time we go the museum will be open.

After the memorial we were off to get world famous pastrami sandwhiches from Katz's Deli.

Let me tell you, this sandwhich was well worth waiting in line outside, waiting in line inside crammed in like sardines, then waiting again for a seat!

That day we also saw: Grand Central Station

Museum of Modern Art

And the lights from the top of the Empire State Building

Next up, probably my favorite part of the trip, Central Park!!!

We had dinner plans with friends in Brooklyn so we took the subway over there and got off to see the Brooklyn Bridge
