Trash Day

My first stroll through lower Manhattan was interesting. Apparently, Monday is trash day here, as evidenced by the enormous mounds of garbage on every corner. The entrance to my hotel is in what I'm pretty sure is an alley. I thought the cab driver was kidding when he dropped me off. Wall Street was not nearly as impressive as the image I had build up in my mind. One amazing thing was flying over Time Square at night. Seeing it on TV just doesn't prepare you for the size and brightness of it. The giant screens were visible even from the airplane. After work, I'm planning on going over to Battery Park and hopefully will get a good view of the Statue of Liberty.
