We went to church at 9 am. In New York the church and the temple are in the same building. The temple is the top floor. It was neat to go to the ward and the couple speakers gave great talks about prayer and being optimistic. Most of the congregation were visitors which would be weird if you lived there I think.

| Then we visited a church that was less than a block away from the twin towers. When they were hit, the church was barely affected. There were letters and banners from people after the twin towers fell. We didn't go to Ground Zero because it was pricey and the line was so long, but the church was just as good. |

| Lots of beautiful flower stands |

| And then, we saw the famous amazing fabulous...Amorino! The marvelous gelatto place from Paris! We thought we'd never see it in the US, but there it was. A gleaming little kiosk of amazingness. I got raspberry, chocolate, pistachio and mango. Enough said. |

There was a cool flee market going on that we explored too. It had hand-made bikes, maple/chocolate flavored soda, good authentic food, and local honey. We had to try the blueberry-peach pie:)

| Ruby was kinda excited |
Then: The Yankees/Red Sox game! The stadium was really cool and there was lots of energy. We got great pizza and Snapple drinks before the game and dad and Ruby got icecream cones inside. Sadly, Yankees lost in the 10th inning after a player striked out. We'd moved to better seats someone had vacated by then and it was intense! But fun:)
We went to the hotel through Times Square. The lights, people, sounds, smell! It's overwhelming but in a good way! I love the bright colors and sparkling lights!
