Today we did the uptown tour, saw alot of famous buildings from TV and the movies. Saw a few mansions, there are only a handful left, most are turned into apartments. We saw a condo today that cost 7 million ( for a broom closet ) in the Plaza facing the river. Right by Central park and the Metropolitan Museum of art. These people would freak out if they saw the big yards we have, I don't think there is one house in Manhattan!! After our uptown loop, we got off the bus at Ground Zero. In a couple of years there won't be a ground zero, as they are starting construction on the new towers. When we first walked up we couldn't see anything it is all tarped up, then we noticed a few rips in the tarp and when you looked through, it took your breath away! It was EERIE!!! The hole left in the ground is HUGE! and when you look across the span of empty area where the towers stood, it gives you a feeling of how big they were. After we walked through the grounds of the miracle church that faced the buildings and still stands! It's such an old church the grave stones are smooth with age, barely legible, if any writing was left at all.
To end the Night on a high note though, we saw a Broadway show called "Curtains" With David Hyde Pierce who was a "hero" in it. It was Awesome!!! It was funny and if you liked Pierce's character Niles, from Frasier, he was in the same character. I'll look for the link tomorrow instead of me writing it out. All you need to know is that we loved it, and it was so cool to go to a Broadway show. We bough tickets last night and were center stage, on the floor 11 rows back!! Amazing seats. Dean looked online and by fluke, they were waiting for us!
We walked all over today, and found that it is faster to walk home 15 blocks than to take a taxi at rush hour, which here is 11PM when all the theaters let out!!
