New York-Day 2

New York – 13^th June

This morning we decided to have a lazy day so boarded a coach to again see the sights of New York. Geoffrey was fascinated with the various forms of skyscrapers.

We finally arrived at Ground Zero, where we walked into the World Financial Centre, a building directly adjacent to Ground Zero, which was partly damaged during 9/11. First, we saw a very moving memorial to the eleven people who worked for American Express, who died on that fatal day. We then went to an observation area where we could view the site of the six skyscrapers that collapsed and the new 120 storey building under construction.

We re-boarded our coach for a drive around other areas of New York, including Central Park, Greenwich Village, Soho, Manhattan and Times Square (Cian note the advertising for Cars).

This was a perfect finale for our two day visit to New York.
