Ground Zero from the World Financial Center
Monday, May 4 11:50 PM EDT
It was another long day. I got up this morning at 6 AM so that I could catch the bus to the Metro station to get a train to the Greyhound station to take another bus for 4.5 hours to New York. When I got to New York I spent a little while trying to get my bearing and figure out how I was going to make it to my hotel which is in Piscataway NJ. Let me tell you, this is not a convenient place to stay when visiting NY, but despite what I've heard I couldn't beat $50 a night staying in NY. So today was spent either on a bus, train, or walking from 6 AM to 9 PM. I did get to see Ground Zero today, they have a nice tribute museum there that is quite moving. Next I walked around for a while by the Hudson and looked out and saw the Statue of Liberty. I didn't go there I think I'm gonna get a citypass tomorrow and do that as well as some of the other main attractions in the city. My bus ride to my hotel afterwards was long and then I was too late to get teh 2nd bus that came right to my hotel so I had to walk for 2 hours (6.6 miles, I checked on nikeplus) in the rain. It was not fun but I made it. Tomorrow if the same thing happens I think I'll just get a cab. When I got back I took a quick shower then went across the street to Ruby Tuesday and had a not very good steak. Well I think that's about it for tonight. I'll post a couple of pictures now.
