So luckily at the end of our trip to Brasil we had a nine hour layover in New York City, and since neither of us had ever been to the City That Never Sleeps, we decided to take a subway into Manhattan. It was a foggy, cold day and we didn't have time to get any closer than this to the Statue of Liberty. Even from this distance, the history and meaning of the statue was apparent. I have always wanted to see Lady Liberty.
This fire station is located across the street from the area that housed the World Trade Center buildings.
This is the site where the World Trade Center buildings were located. It is a massive block of land and hundreds of construction workers were clearing old debris and working on the construction of the Freedom Tower and memorials. This is a hallowed piece of land.
This is a wall decorated with notes and drawings by elementary school students to those who died on September 11. It makes the whole thing a little more real.
As I mentioned, it was a very foggy day. We couldn't even see the top of the Empire State Building. Because our time in the city was short, we decided to take a double decker bus around town. Candice took this gem of a shot while we were traveling along in the bus.
Here we are inside the very cool Toys 'R Us megastore at Times Square. The store is so big that it has a ferris wheel inside and millions of toys.
We had to have a dog in NYC. It was so cool to be in the city and see all of the people walking and the taxis passing - it looks like it does in the movies.
Here we are again at Times Square. This place is so big and so lively that I think it might be the best spot to experience New York. At the top of that tall building behind us is the New Year's Eve ball that drops on TV every year.
We will have to go back to New York to see a broadway show. We also need to ride in a taxi, visit Central Park, the Metropolitan, the Statue of Liberty and everything else. Who wants to come with?
