Give me your poor, your needy, your theatre-lovers...
So yeah, a couple of big things happened today. Firstly, we went to pay our respects at the 9/11 memorial. There is still so much construction work going on there, it`s hard to get a sense of the place, but then you look through a gap in the fence and see the finished part of the memorial pools... Can`t really do it justice, so I`m not going to try.
We also saw Lady Liberty; she didn`t move much, and I think she looks a bit masculine, but no one can deny that is some first class copper oxidation, all over her body. Textbook chemical reaction.
After that we spent a long afternoon on Ellis Island, learning about the history of immigration into the United States. Fascinating history AND you can buy pretzels on the boat. What a win!After returning to Manhattan we headed up to Times Square where there was a big hullabaloo about Women`s Rights, which was right in the way of the queue to the Broadway tickets. How unthoughtful. We fought our way through and got tickets to see How To
Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, starring Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette from NBC`s Night Court, which is set in a court at night. Any 30 Rock fans will understand the signifance of this. The show was incredible, so funny and Harry Potter really can dance!
Larroquette steals the show though. If you`re in NY before Potter leaves at Christmas, go and see this show!We`re back at Sophia`s now, before a couple of museums tomorrow morning and then our first adventure on the Greyhound Bus, where we will be taking every precaution to not catch a disease.
When we talk to you tomorrow, we`ll be in Boston!
