August 25, 2012 - New York City

Fountain where one of the fallen Trade Centre was situated.

Took the train into NYC to take a prearranged sight seeing tour. Saw the World Trade Centre site and memorial. Around the fountains are the names of the people who perished in those buildings. Security to enter this site was surprisingly tight, just like going through an airport with all the x-rays, etc. We couldn't believe how many police officers they had on duty.

We started the tour at Time Square, then onto Wall St., Battery Park, the Dakota where John Lennon lived, Central Park, and took a tour boat to see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. It was all beautiful, but Carole would have liked to do more shopping, of course!
