What an experience that was...I just got of the plane about an hour ago and got back to my nest....I think I appreciate being a Florida girl more than ever...Ground zero was prolific to say the least....St. Pauls church was a interesting place to visit directly from ground zero, George Wasgington use to worship there....did you know as old as that place is, not a single pane of glass was broke in that church???/and it is directly across the street from what was the twin towers....strange...it is also the oldest continuing functioning building in New York...it even survived a horrendous fire in I dont remember the date but we are talking like 300 years ago...ok we found an apartment on Park avenue with a 400 foot terrace which is unheard of in the city...its 6 blocks away from her new office...walking distance is huge in that city...anyway...almost 4,000 a month and that is cheap! can you imagine? we looked at apartments you couldnt turn around in for 3,000 and up...unbelievable...I hit my house and got down and kissed the ground..thank God my parents had the foresight to raise me here, is all I can say..the hussel and bussell of that city is earthshaking, I noticed alot of lonely people eating by themselves, walking by themselves etc...and then going home to an unbelievable living conditions..the dogs...oh the dogs were everwhere on a leash, I doubt most would know what it would be like to actually run for any distance...ok I am tired and I am gonna go to bed but I have much more to write, overall I had a wonderful time....till later...Val
