So today we had a little free time and thought we'd explore the city a little more. We wanted to go check out Ground Zero again. There is such a somber feeling there – looking where the World Trade Center towers once stood. It was humbling to stand right where such a horrible act of terrorism occurred. On the positive side - there are some amazing buildings there. It was also really neat seeing all the different memorials for those who sacrificed their lives to save others. It’s neat to see how much the city has really united over such a horrific event.
Next, we decided to take a ferry! I love ferries! We took the Staten Island ferry so we could see the cityscape and check out the Statue of Liberty. It was really cool watching the sunset and seeing all the huge buildings in New York. It still hasn’t completely sunk in that we are able to call this city home. We really love it here.
