We have been enjoying New York City the last few days. There is a water taxi at our marina that runs
to lower Manhattan right across the Hudson River from us. $5 a person.
Not bad! We have been to one
play, Wicked, to the 9-11 Memorial and the newly opened museum, Times Square, Tribeca, and biked into Jersey
City on our side of the Hudson. Today is
Alexis’ birthday, and we are off to another play and dinner tonight. Granddaughter Cameron joins us on Thursday
for a week. With her we plan to watch the July 4th
fireworks from our boat (great view of the Statue of Liberty fireworks), see Phantom on Broadway, keep a wary eye on Hurricane Arthur and
then head up the Hudson to Albany, NY.
Cameron and Alexis will fly home from there. When Alexis returns we take the Erie Canal to Canada.

| 9-11 memorial. At the base of each of the old towers are these pools. The sides have the engraved names of the victims. |
 |
| Inside the museum. It is quite well done and moving. Loads of people, and not a dry eye. The terrorists only made us stronger. |
 |
| The marina across from us on the Manhattan side. Much bigger boats, but subject to wakes from the river, which can be large. |
 |
| Empire State building. |
 |
| The new World Trade Center. It is right next to the memorial. |
 |
| Our marina. Much calmer and cheaper! |
