NEW YORK

June 8- We are heading into New York City this morning at 9:00 am. John a part owner of this marina has offered to drive us over to catch the train and that will take us to the ferry that will take us over to the mainland. It was a quick ride on the train to the ferry and while crossing over we finally saw the Statue of Liberty. We had planned to go over to the statue today but unfortunately it is so booked for tours that we could not go up the statue so we decided to not go. The other thing we wanted to visit was Ground Zero and as we got there the rain started and the wind began to really blow. We also wanted to go to the museum for Ground Zero but it had line ups down the street, so that didn't happen. We had to get in out of the rain so we found a mall and went and had lunch hoping the rain would subside while we were in there. It didn't so we hopped the subway and went to Rockefeller Centre for awhile. We were all tired from walking so we headed back to the subway, back to the ferry and back to the boat. Maybe we will have better luck tomorrow!
