Camp Quinipet here I come: Day 4

Thursday September 4th

On our itinerary for today was the 9/11 memorial, the high line, the flat iron building and the public library. We completed all of these visits and took time to appreciate it all ( it was a total of 12 hrs non stop !!).

The 9/11 memorial and museum was very moving and I recommend that everyone should go and see that at least once in their lives, because it truely captures what happened that frightful morning. The bravery and resilience of the American people in response to the terror attacks is clear throughout the museum. The waterfalls where the world trade centres stood are stunning.

We then moved onto the highline park which is where the overground trains used to be. The tracks have now been turned into an overground park which is incredibly striking :) We ate our lunch ( I had chicken pie it was tasty!) overlooking the Hudson River which is near to where the park is situated.

After staying at the park for an hour we took a stroll and saw the flat iron building on our way to the public library...

And then we spent around 1 hr at the public library, enjoying the architecture and peace. The feeling was similar to how I felt in shelter island but as soon as you step out of that library you are faced with the non stop NYC buzz, it really is the city that never sleeps.
