Today we went back downtown to exchange a few clothes which we bought a few days ago. This also gave us the opportunity to take a stroll near the WTC. We didn't go to the memorial which is under construction, but since being here a new appreciation of what occurred and the wide impact 9/11 had on this city. It was a little sad in reflection and thought of those who never returned home from work that day, and those brave and proud men and women officers who sacrificed everything in the line of duty.
It was quite chilling walking those streets, looking skyward and hearing jets flying overhead.
The Freedom Tower construction is well underway as is going to be higher than the original towers.
On a brighter note, we are all packed, with an additional bag (muppets take up a bit of space you know).
Just finished dinner at Times Square, and a chilly stroll home 42nd St to 26th to help dinner settle..
Next stop LAX for a night.
