The blogger app is so user non friendly. All my posts will need editing once I get back to my real computer instead of the iPhone. Anyway, yesterday we played tourists. A beautiful day to do it. We took the train into the city. First stop the 911 museum at ground zero. Did I know anyone killed? Not on 9/11 but a man whose job I got when he was promoted was blown out of the sky over Lockerbie. Larrry was such a. Good man. Athey had photos of all 3000+ victims. Using a touch screen, you could hear each story. They had various pieces of the Twin Towers, twisted steel girders and an intact window
The High Line linear park is on a 2 mile long platform. We walked more than 2 miles from Ground Zero to get to it, walked on it and then another mile to the train. Lots of walking |

strange art on our way to the High Line |
twisted girder from the World rade center |
A sculpture representing the fallen bodies though I assume all of the real bodies were clothed |

The highest station of all the lines Recently redone
My brother and sister-in law live near the F train. Alas work is being done on the line so service was real spotty. We had to transfer to the A train to get to where the World Trade center towers once stood.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could put up memorials to positive moments and events?
