Our next stop was City Island. There was one really important place we wanted to visit while up here in New York. We took a bus into the city. Then took two trains into Manhatten. After visiting the preview center to get passes, we visited the 9/11 Memorial.
It was pretty spectactular to see it in person. The waterfalls that go into a black square hole is very moving and the names of all of those souls lost are cut into the stone framing the entire waterfall. You can see one of names in the picture to the right.
There is a great deal of security and probably justifiable. The city has been through a great deal. They lost so much of themselves that day. I think we all lost something of ourselves that day. The city is so congested and there is street work going on, buildings being built. We decided to take a walk on Broad street. It was open and not as closed in. It was a far cry from sitting on a sailboat out in the middle of Long Island Sound. And it is time to get going. We took a picture of the East River as we were going down and also got a nice shoot of the Statue of Liberty. What a site.
