An Internet promotion by the Statue of Liberty boat company was enough of an urge to get us to sign up for the August evening cruise, dinner included. Giving added thought to the excursion, we decided it was time for a visit to Ground Zero, Wall St. and Battery Park.
Scattered thunder storms were predicted. That didn't hold us back. It did make for a spectacular evening with lightning strikes all around us. Of course, we do not go anywhere without our cameras in hand.
Take a look,
The E train South out of Penn Station goes to the WTC site and Ground Zero!
One WTC rises above Memorial reflections ponds.
