Nov 13-World Trade Center-St.Paul's Chapel-Federal Hall

We walked our feet off again today! We took the PATH (subway) right into the World Trade Center site. They had to rebuild this part of the line and now it kind of wraps around where the buildings used to be. You come in below ground...inside the enormous hole. Its an impressive place. I couldn't seem to take any pictures...it seemed somehow disrespectful. We wandered all over lower Manhattan. Down to St. Paul's Chapel which is the oldest structure in NYC. George Washington was a regular visitor. All the buildings near the WTC site were damaged, their windows were blown out, etc. St. Paul's is really close, but it was somehow protected. Went inside Federal Hall which was the meeting place for the first US Congress and the site where George Washington took his oath of office as the first Presitient of the US on April 30, 1789. Down at Battery Park we explored Castle Clinton which was built to defend NY during the War of 1812. Not much NY shopping when you travel with Gene!
