On to New York

We arrived in New York on Sunday night and relaxed with the family for the evening before setting out sightseeing in the city on Monday morning. We decided to concentrate on downtown Manhattan. We started at the 9/11 Memorial:

Footprint of South Tower


Survivor Tree - you can see the damaged bark at the bottom part and the smooth new post 9/11 growth above
We moved on to Trinity Church, and more specifically its beautiful graveyard:


In front of Alexander Hamilton's tomb


Hercules Mulligan

And Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - we couldn't find Angelica
From there, we found the Bull and girl statues:


And the stock exchange:


We finished our tour at Fraunces Tavern, where George Washington gave his final address to the troops, but I must not have taken any pictures there (whoops!)
