Decembe 4, 2010: NEW YORK CITY!!! Love it!
We arrived in New York City on Friday. As always, I love the city. Especially at Christmas. The crowds are amazing – it was not this crowded last time I was here. There are thousands and thousand of people.
We stayed at the Marriott that was destroyed in 9/11 last night. We could see the construction of the new buildings from our window. I believe the new Marriott was built a couple of buildings down from the old one – unsure.
Today we went to see the 9/11 memorial, fire fighters memorial, Wall Street, St Patrick’s Cathedral, 5th Avenue, and a variety of other spots. Having a great time – cold – but fun!
Snowed in Kentucky today. 1 to 3 inches over the central and eastern part of the state. That forecast worked out nicely.
