New York - Day 3 (sick of this yet?)

This day we went on a tour of New York with the BKR group. We went to Central Park and saw the beautiful Conservatory Garden, there are three different gardens representing different landscapes, Italian, French and English. The French was my favorite because they plant flowers for all seasons. I had no idea that Central Park was as big as it is, I think it would be fun to rent a bike and ride all through it. We took a walk over to Wall Street, this was Lynn's favorite (of course) we passed a huge Cathedral whose bells were going off, they said on special occasions they would ring for 3 hours. We went to Ground Zero, this was really emotional to me, I remember watching those towers fall on T.V. and to see the actual place where they stood and thinking of standing there when the planes flew into them just was overwhelming to me. When the tour was done, Lynn and I went over to Grand Central Station and ate some lunch, it wasn't to busy cause it was a weekend but there were still a lot of people. I found a black and white cookie, it wasn't very good.

The French Gardens - statue of the Three Dancing Maidens

I loved these flowers.

Lynn loving Wall Street.

Federal Hall with George Washington Statue, where he took the oath of office as the first President of the United States. It is now a museum.

We tried to ride the subway once - we couldn't figure it out.
