new york stock exchange
When I got off the subway, I wasn't sure which direction to go to see wall street, so I chated with a fellow named "Al"who was very nice in giving directions. He was a shriner who just returned from business in Toronto.

Day 3- Wednesday

As I mentioned yesterday, I had problems trying to upload new info. It was a busy day, saw lots and walked forever. The bottom of my feet know so...

I headed south on a walkinf tour and found NYU, , Union Square, greenwich village SOHO, and the Chelsea district. Came across the tile memorial for 911 victims at the corner of Bleeker & 6th. Also discovered that Waverly Place is a real location. While eating sandwich at Madison Sq Park, I noticed figures placed upon the tops of buildings around the park. check http://www.eventhorizonnewyork.org/

After class, Kristina and I headed south as well and ended up at Ground Zero. It felt so current, can't believe it occurred 9 years ago. The images are still so very clear. The fencing surrounding the area prevented us from seeing the crater, but the vast empty space between buildings with only construction cranes and reflecting lights, gave a sense of eery emptiness.

Tired of walking, we hopped on the subway, an experience to discuss later
Got to go enjoy Day 3

First Day in New York City

Nice continental style breakfast and Kristina sent off to class in a taxi. What to do today???Let you know later...Bye

technology..aahhh.. Just uploaded a bunch of new photos, comments, and then computer says service unavailable! oh well 40 mins wasted, I am going out to play--chow

Arrival!!!

Awsome is an overused word, but was very appropriate as we viewed the city lights of NYC on our descent into La Guardia airport. The pilot circled around Manhattan as if on
tour and showed off all the landmark bridges, buildings, etc. Touchdown at 10:21 off to find bags and taxi.
Very humid - feels tropical. So many yellow cabs, feels like we are in a bumper car arena. After a speedy, white knuckle ride, we arrived at the Strand Hotel.- Safely- Yeah!

Almost There...

Flew into Pearson International Airport at 640 Toronto Time....currently waiting to board to New York City!

Day 1 - travellling

seaplane at 7:05am. Bumpy/shakey start but very quick ride to Richmond - surely beats hours of ferry and traffic delays. We have lots of time to



relax,and watch the activities around the airport
