New York City--Day 1

Alea is such a superstar she is trying to hide behind her glasses as she enjoys her first meal in NYC. 

Chelsea Market

Alea wanted to see the Chrysler Building on our trip. This is the view from our hotel room. Notice the Chrysler Building in the background!

We visited the High Line Park which is in Chelsea. It is an old above the street railroad line that had been abandoned and wasn't used anymore that the residents of the area worked to turn into a park. It is a long and skinny park, like the railroad tracks above the road were. It was a very pretty place.

  I just realized that this background looks like it could be a painting but it is real! @ the High Line.

Tracks that are still there.

 The firefighter wall at the World Trade Center site, i.e., Ground Zero.

The new One World Trade Center. It is suppose to open in 2014.

This is the memorial where the south tower stood. There is one across the way where the north tower stood.
