Although not as rigorous as Day #1, the second day was filled with walking and touring. We visited Ground Zero, City Hall, NY Stock Exchange, Wall Street, had lunch with a high school friend, and walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Here at St. Paul's Chapel, across from Ground Zero, is a memorial/museum. St. Paul's chapel was a sanctuary for the men and women who were on rescue missions and later recovery missions to rest, be consoled, and counseled until they had to return to Ground Zero.
Ground Zero Today
As I walked around Ground Zero I reflected on that day. I was working at CIMI on Catalina Island. We told the chaperones of each school what was happening and offered our support, TVs, phones, and computers (usually the chaperones don't use or need any technology while at CIMI). It was decided not to tell the students. Let them enjoy their moments of peace on Catalina until they had to return to the mainland.

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. I was told the next time we visit we should walk the bridge at night to watch the city lights.
