The Hudson, 9/11, Brooklyn Bridge, Wholefoods and Fireflies

The title says it all.. that's what we did today.

 THE WATER TAXI

This is a really good way to see a few places in a day. It's hop-on hop off.

Tickets were $29 and it was thoroughly worthwhile. Here are some photographs from today

 9/11 MEMORIAL. This was moving and actually quite beautiful.. cascading water falling away

 A PROTEST NEARBY

The guy I spoke to said the workers were being paid Virginia rates for a New York building. Once completed they will charge Manhattan rates for accomodation as they are in an expensive part of town

 More from 9/11

Nearby

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE- I found it to be an object of art.

 SOUTHPORT AREA

to the promised land?

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

I'm glad we didn't do it this way

There was heaps of room on our boat

BACK NEAR THE HOTEL

I went for a wander around sunset and took a few shots in the local area.

FIREFLIES

Whoops.. nearly forgot.. we saw some fireflies in Central Park tonight
