Hello Friends, I am sorry that I didn't have time to check my blog until now, we were in New York City for Dolce's graduation, she graduated with highest distinction, or they called it at the ceremony - Summa cum Laude, well done girl.
I arrived at Newark airport on Friday evening, it took me more than 2 hours to get to our friend's house in Long Island, I would like to stay in the city like we used to, but a friend of DH kept inviting us, we finally said YES this time since his place is also close to Dolce's campus.
This is the picture I took with my phone while stuck in the traffic .....
On Saturday, we had the driver took us to High Line, I like taking the subway while I was in NYC, but our friend insisted to have his driver take care of us all day.....
The High Line is a 1.45 mile-long New York City linear park build in the city on an elevated section of an old New York Central Railroad ......
we started the trail from 14th street, make a loop and back to Chelsea Market...
I really wish I could spend more time at Chelsea Market....
after Chelsea, we went to the Freedom Tower for the first time....
when I first moved to NYC 2003, this place was called Ground Zero, it was a big hole on the ground.
we moved to Jersey City many years later, they were building the freedom tower then, the construction area is where we walked by day in day out as we have to take the Path train from the city back to Jersey City
Today, the beautiful reflection pools sit within the footprints where the twin Towers once stood.
After the graduation, we went to JFK and waited for hours for our flight to Rome (did you get the right answer from that picture on the last post?) where Dolce will be doing her business study here for 10 days, Clare and I will drop her off at school campus here tomorrow, we will be here for another night and then move on to our next destination on Wednesday....
WHERE?????
to this place where Ernest Hemingway and Mary Hemingway once stood!
tell me if you know the answer! : )
Before I go, here's my card for City Crafter Challenge Blog "Black and White" challenge this week, hop over for challenge details....
oh one more good news before I go, Papi is finally HOME with DH, I'll tell you the story when I get a chance.
