Today we rolled into New York area, crossed the Hudson river and parked at Liberty Harbor RV Park in New Jersey, right across from NYC.  It’s basically a parking lot with electricity and water hookups, but the location is as good as it gets, because a couple of blocks from the park we can catch the light rail to cross back over the river into NYC.  Then the subway took us to Ground Zero.  Can’t see a thing at ground level because the entire area is surrounded by construction fence, but a couple of tall buildings are well under way.  

Just for grins we walked to Wall Street to see the NY Stock Exchange.  Since 9/11 visitors aren’t allowed in there, either. 
For dinner we had pizza at Lombardi’s, where they still cook their pizza in a coal-heated oven.  It’s pretty good, but Randy’s is definitely better!

And we walked out on the Brooklyn Bridge.  Very cool, makes me wonder how they did it way back in 1883.  The bridge has a slight wobble that made me dizzy.  
 On the bridge tower, they use this high-tech security: Duct tape!
Back at the RV park, we were really, really glad this place has 50 amp that can handle both air conditioners, ‘cause it’s HOT and HUMID here today.
