Today New York is mourning the 15th
Anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre. We can see on TV
that there is a large memorial service at
ground zero with the reading of the
names of all of the victims.
As we head out onto the streets around us,
it is business as usual, without the office workers. We had breakfast at the “Cosmic
Diner”, a typical American diner which served a pretty good breakfast.
After breakfast we just needed a bit of
exercise and to fill in the rest of the morning before checking out of the
hotel and heading to the airport to catch our flight home.
We opted to go for a walk down to Central
Park and have a bit of a walk around. It really is a great place for New
Yorkers to get out of the rat race and into a nice relaxing park environment,
away from the concrete jungle.
It was then off to JFK airport for our
flight home.
