New York: Alluring busy...



...So we walked towards Wall Street, hungry as hell but content with drinking in the sights and sounds around us. Throngs of tourists crowded around the 911 memorial center, another directed towards the Trinity Church, armed police at every corner, cranes and construction everywhere, suits munching on hot dogs. It was wonderful. We boarded the 'Hop on Hop off tour at Battery Park for the downtown loop. By the way, this is a great way to orientate yourself with NY if you are new to it, and at around $49 for the uptown, downtown, Brooklyn and night tour, it's a steal. The next two hours were spent pleasantly as we let the tour guide do all the work, and watched envious New Yorkers gazing at us tourists, trying to get through rush hour hell......
