GAP WALK JOURNALS - VII
Then I am also doing some speaking - the one longer presentation last night, then some shorter presentations just to give a brief idea of what this walk is about, and to present a challenge to others, not to walk but to pray. Then I had another meeting with a pastor this morning at 10 a m.
After that meeting Dave and I headed to a parking lot near our motel where we parked and then caught a bus into New York. We thought about getting tickets for a Broadway Show, but both felt we could spend our money in better ways when we saw the price.
Then we rode the subway to Battery Park where we looked at Castle Clinton where arrivals from other countries were checked in before Ellis Island became the place for that. After taking a few pictures and making a purchase or two, we headed off to see Ground Zero. Construction there is moving right along. If one didn’t know what had happened at that spot, you might think it was just another construction place. There are lots of viewpoints around this place.
After spending some time at Ground Zero we headed back on the subway for our bus back to Parsippany, NJ. It took us awhile to find our way back, but we finally succeeded. New York is a very confusing city. Russ, where are you when we need you?? (In case you’re wondering, when Russ was with me he seemed to get around the city with no problem.)
Finally we caught our bus, and when we got back to Parsippany we took time to eat at a restaurant with a variety of pasta. Then back to our van and to our motel. We took care of nightly chores, and then to bed. It’s been a long and tiring day. Now I’m falling asleep, so I need to get to bed. Good-night all.
