Saturday 7th April...
Lots of walking again today, at the moment my feet are steaming!
We began by collecting Sal from her hotel and walking "Down town" to find a breakfast Diner, waffles and oatmeal and all the coffee you can drink... Lovely!
We had booked a "time slot" for a visit to the 9/11 Memorial site and set off on the Subway to the World Trade Center stop. Much security later we were in the Ground zero site, it is obviously a work in progress, several massive skyscrapers are under construction, but there are two "Memorial" fountains - both situated on the "footprint" of the two towers. It's been done really well, and when the trees become bigger and the grass is settled it will be special.
After this we set off to the Brooklyn Bridge Footpath, I was slightly unsure about where it was until we got close... Hundreds of people were doing the walk! The bridge was packed, in fact the cyclists who were on the bridge as well could hardly pass by!
Our idea when we arrived on the Brooklyn river side was to find a Diner and eat lunch, except there were hardly any "eateries" there! And those that were there were packed, So we returned over the river and headed for a water front area called "Pier 17". In the shadow of the bridge we found a great bar-"The Cow girl Sea horse"(!), and we are there now, I'm on my second beer and it's really chilled.....
