Day three and still raining so time to go to the World Trade Center

 Riding the subway takes a bit of getting used to - which line to be on and what direction it is going. However for most large cities the public transit is a great way to get around. There was a short walk to Columbus circle then a direct line to the World Trade Center. Since 9/11 this has been completely redeveloped. There is even a huge Apple store where you can look at all their multiple devices. I have an IMac, an IPad Air, and IPhone 11 and an Apple Watch. I have been influenced by a very helpful IPad class that has been meeting every week on Zoom all through the last two years of COVID.




Close by the World Trade Center is the 9/11 museum. There was an hour long queue in the rain to get a ticket but it was worth the wait. Here are a few pics which tells some of the stories.
