First on our agenda was to go buy bagels from a shop our Big Apple Greeter recommended. Our faves are the garlic ones with poppy seeds. So scrummy!
Did you know Opium comes from poppys and if you are being drug tested dont eat poppy seeds as you will fail. A random fact from our guide yesterday.

Our first stop was Ground Zero. Seeing where the Twin towers actually stood was pretty cool as obviously we all watched them fall on tv. There is a lot of building work going on but they havent really began to construct the actual buildings yet. Guessing it will be a slow process.

Then we went to Chinatown. We felt way more at home here. think we are still so used to Asia. Saw loads of familiar sights and foods. Was really cool. Even went into a bakery and got some really nice food. Brought back all the great memories of China. Then wandered through little Italy.

Next stio was Soho. Now this is somewhere we could live. Lower buidings, trees, really homely looking. It was so beautiful walking around there. Completely different from Midtown with all the sky scrapers. Also the shops were amazing. We need shops like this in England. Lots of boutiques rather than chains.

After such a busy day we treated ourselves with Chinese food again :)
