Spending the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 in NYC

By 11 am, our awesome motor coach driver Phil, and tour operator Pam has us in the city to begin a wonderful day of celebration and touring.
Many ceremonies had already taken place downtown at the opening of the 9/11 Memorial. Our plans are to be able to take in lower Manhattan onTuesday.
We found Midtown and Uptown were very navigable. With the help of an extremely knowledgeable tour guide, Marta, sites on today's agenda included: FIRE STATION #54 (shown above), Central Park, Harlem and lunch at the House of Prayer, St. John the Divine Cathedral, Columbia University, Museum Mile, Millionaire's Row, 5th Avenue, Grand Central Terminal, and Times Square.
This very emotional day was also one of celebration and pride. America's spirit and love of our country can not be replicated nor denied.
We are truly blessed in so many ways!
