New York. New York.

Crowds were in the street 24/7. We’ve not been to NY before so it really was a bombardment of all senses. The noise, the smells, the shuffle of people, so much energy in this place.

We had a day of sightseeing around Central Park, Broadway and everything in between. Caught the Statten Island Ferry and passed this lady.

The 9/11 memorial park is a must to all visitors to NY now. There are 2 pools that cover the footprint of the twin towers. One was empty, being cleaned. The other had many people leaning over watching the fall of water.

The greatest building in NY currently is the World Trade Centre. It is truly amazing. I hope this gives you some idea of the scale.

Across the street from memorial park is the Greek Orthodox Church. They couldn’t get lots of money to build a fancy building so the structure is a temporary measure. I liked the idea that the money went to the people, not a fancy building.

New York has 2 great art museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA the Museum of Modern Art. With one day what do you choose???? MoMA won.

The final exhibition space was my favourite!! It made me smile.

The other thing to do in NY is a Broadway show. Death Becomes Her is a new show that is based on the movie. Fabulous dancing and costumes with amazing singing.

Now we are off to see the musical Alladin.

Tomorrow we go to our next destination.

See you then. Pamela
