Big Apple

Business took us to New York, New York.

Some of out meetings fell through so we lucked out and got the entire morning to sight see and explore the city.

We started out wandering Central Park.
We then made our way down 5th Avenue before catching the subway to Ground Zero and walking to Battery Park. Ground Zero is just as hauntingly incredible as you would imagine. The sight where those two buildings stood sends a chill down the spine and tears to the eyes.
It was a debate whether to take the ferry to Lady Liberty or make our way back to the Empire State Building. When I visited New York as a kid, we went into the lobby of the Empire State Building so I'm glad I had a chance to go up to the top.
We made it back to our hotel to change and head to our afternoon meeting.
That evening, we met some friends for dinner and then went to see Mama Mia. ABBA was definitely under rated. It was really good.
