Today was a blast. We went to Times Square, saw the Statue of Liberty (from the Staten Island ferry), the Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich Village, and "Rent." We also got as close as we could to the World Trade Center, a couple of blocks away. It looks pretty much like it appears on the news, only with a strong, almost burning stench of smoldering plastic. It was hard to believe that the fenced-off area only a few weeks ago held the city's two largest edifices. One of the old men in the crowd could only shake his head and click his tongue. What a shame indeed.
As expected, security was especially tight over the city as a whole. But I never thought I'd see so many police and National Guard units camped out in the middle of a city.
