| Freedom Tower from Greenwich Village |
It was a hot and humid Sunday, but undaunted I ran around the city with my list of things to eat and things to do. I never want to waste a minute when I'm there and after 6 hours of non-stop activity, in that heat, I collapsed in my hotel room with a salad from Whole Foods.
A few highlights from that day...
Its nice to finally see the Freedom Tower tall enough to be my directional guide when I'm in the Village.

Always on the lookout for new chocolates, I check out the chocolate shops and Dean & Delucca's. Found a Gin & Tonic flavored chocolate. Since it was milk chocolate, not dark, I didnt indulge. Not 'calorie-worthy'!
I spent the afternoon up at 110th at the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine. I remember visiting in the 1990's when it was still being built, complete with stone masons. I was fascinated that a medieval cathedral - in fact the largest in the world - would be built in modern times still using the old methods. And, true to the cathedrals of those times, it was built to represent the local life and times.
