day one with mike and sara


We met Klane for lunch at a Halal cart on 49th and Park Ave. Yum!

We hit Battery Park and saw the Statue of Liberty (no pics)...


...then visited Trinity Church

...the New York Stock Exchange

...then visited Federal Hall on Wall Street. This is where George Washington took his oath of office and gave his first inaugural address. There happened to be a very cool (and free!) Abraham Lincoln exhibit there. It was neat to see actual artifacts from his life, like campaign posters and badges, letters, clothing, etc. After that we wandered through Chinatown, Little Italy, and Soho, and became thoroughly exhausted. We came home for homemade pizza and the Bachelorette. (Which was ridiculous, but very entertaining.)

So fun that you have your friends/family here! I am going to keep track of everything you do because I need some ideas for when our friends come out in a couple of weeks!

You really pack in the fun! The great thing about NYC is that many of the most entertaining things are free! Wandering around the City is about as fun as anything you can do. Keep it up, and I sent one of the pkg. today!
