New York city

We made it to Jersey City, New Jersey on Sunday morning without too much trouble. We were in the park by 9:30 in the morning. Through the park we were able to order tickets to see Hairspray on Broadway. We had seats 6 rows back right in the middle. We went to the Sunday afternoon performance. It was a great show. We took the PATH (subway under the Hudson river) to get over and back from Manhattan.

On Monday morning we went to the Statue of Liberty. A couple of years ago, when I visited they allowed no visitors inside of the statue. Since then, they have increased security with a process similar to flying on an airplane. They have quite a nice display, and then you take an elevator to the monument top - the base of the actual statue. There is an observatory there were you can get out and see the New York skyline. No one is allowed up into the crown and probably never will be again.

In the afternoon we again took the PATH over to Manhattan, but this time we went to the World Trade Center. The subway ends right inside of where the twin towers used to stand. There are quite of few signs detailing the events of 9/11. We then walked over towards the financial district to see where the stock exchange is along with the famous 'Bull' as seen on TV when they discuss the markets.

We're now in Gettysburg, PA. We stopped by Hersheys, PA on our way here yesterday. Lots and lots of chocolate!! More on our adventures in our next blog.
