This fantastic feature is a long elevated park constructed on a discontinued elevated railway line. It runs through the city and provides unique views of the city as you stroll past railway lines and through beautiful park features. What a great idea and a wonderful experience. Next we hopped on another subway to travel to the site of the Twin Towers destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Today the site features a memorial pool and a new building called the Freedom Tower. On the surround of the memorial pool are inscribed the names of all the people who lost their lives on 9/11. It's a very moving experience and I'm glad Rosa and I visited here some years ago when it was still just a hole i the ground.
From here we walked through various parts of the city and took photos and generally enjoyed the great variety that NYC offers.
Mark has his new iPhone X and is really enjoying using the camera even taking the occasional selfie.
On our way home we called into Grand Central Station. The mezzanine floors of this beautiful old station have now been converted into an Apple store - incredible. We spent the afternoon resting our feet and tonight we are going to the Beacon Theatre for a performance featuring Nick Mason, of Pink Floyd fame performing early Pink Floyd music with his band. Mark spent a couple of hours watching the ticket prices rise and fall and snatched a couple when they hit rock bottom. So, a night out at one of New York's iconic theatres.
