We began our day around 9:00 with breakfast at the hotel. The hotel had a shuttle to the subway. We had fun getting to know the subway and how to connect. The $7 unlimited day pass turned out to be wonderful! We started by trying to get to the Statue, but there were no more entry passes, so we decided to wait until tomorrow.
Our first attempt at the statue
We went for a quick look around the National Museum of the American Indian. There was lots of pottery. Next Mark decided that he wanted a clichéd American hot dog, and it just so happened that at the next corner there was a hot dog vendor.

After another trip on the subway, we got off to walk to the World Trade Center to see Ground Zero.

After seeing “Night at the Museum” Mark was very keen to see the Museum of Natural History. Unfortunately, Rexy decided not to come to life while we were there. We did enjoy seeing all of the stuffed animal life. Next we caught a subway to Broadway to buy Mark some new shoes (he somehow forgot his at Jose’s house on the VERY calm Saturday morning J ). We got some McDonald’s for a snack. During this time, we saw some horsemen police officers and a very snazzy looking McDonald’s. We got to Time Square and Rockefeller Center before the sun set. On our way back to the subway, we passed by St. Patrick’s Cathedral and decided to go inside to warm up a bit. Then we took the subway back to Jamaica Center where we were able to catch the train to the airport then the shuttle back to the hotel. We ordered some room service and I finished writing our thank you notes.

Mark feels like he fits right in :-)
