9/11 Memorial and museum
10 September 2017 | 9/11 Memorial
Sunny and cool
Today was spent at the 9/11 memorial and museum. It is easy to spend an entire day there and relive what you saw that day in 2001, and literally go behind the scenes and see so much that you never knew. There is so much there - so much information. It is amazing and so well done.
On the train ride in Staten Island, one stop sounded familiar. I looked up my old address and it turned out the first place I lived after college was in that area and it was only a few miles from where I am staying on the boat now. And then my brother tells me his son works at the World Trade Center in building 4. We were at the WTC both yesterday and today, but that was over the weekend, not a work day.
The girls had a City pass, so they stayed in Manhattan and did some more sightseeing. Roger and I had had enough and it was after 4, so we went back to the boat. Instead of taking Uber from the train station back to the boat, we walked. It was about 3 miles over city streets and bike paths. A pleasant walk, but a long walk.
Ashley goes back home tomorrow. I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring, but soon we will venture out from this place and stick our nose out in the ocean and see what the Atlantic brings. After we first check that all the hurricanes have gone. Irma has greatly changed what my trip will look like and what I imagined it to be. Many of the first places I planned to visit have been destroyed. We will see what the future has in store for me.
