for more exploring.
En route to Italy, we had a one-night stopover in New York City. Ed decided to give Lindy a tour of Lower Manhattan since she had never visited that part of the city. Of course, we also paid our respects at "ground zero." It was a great way to spend the day before catching a 9:30PM flight to Roma.
