Miss Liberty - our end goal
What a city! Our nephew Patrick & Melissa did a great job getting us set up in NYC. Our spot in the marina was all set when we got there - less than 1 mile from old miss Liberty. Our accommodations with the Ogdens are right downtown NY at the New York Yacht Club. First class.
Today we started out walking at Times Square when we were asked (yes, they asked us) to get on national television, and if you were up early you would have seen the four of us on 'Good Morning America'. We then decided to take a bus tour through the city where Janet Ogden decided to take over as guide (see pic)
We decided to get off the bus and tour the site of the World Trade Center. The St. Paul's church, the oldest church in NYC, and where George Washington went after his inaugaration in 1789. The church is next to the WTC site. We toured the church and going out the door into the cemetery, the first grave marker we run into is old great-uncle Thomas Ogden. (see pic)
What a day! What a vibrant city. More on NYC tomorrow
