Update from Rohan

I have been to the 9/11 memorial and it is a pretty sad and special place. More than 3000 people died when the twin towers buildings were hit by two planes. The building metal warped from the heat of the explosion and the two tallest towers fell to the ground crushing everything. The best bit of the memorial was seeing the things that people had done to thank and help all the firefighters and police  who were there risking their lives to save people. We found a name on the memorial water feature and then looked up the name on the database inside the museum. The person who we looked up was Sean Patrick Tallon and he was a firefighter in the 21st Hook and Ladder Company. Sean used to be a marine and was only 29 years old and was only just completing his probation period as a firefighter when he died saving people from the towers. Some of the photos below show all the damage to the fire trucks from the building collapse. 

Hi Miss Wells and the Abraham Lincolns

Hey miss Wells and the Abraham Lincolns. I am now in New York and I have been to the top of the Empire State Building. It was way too high. Then I went to Central Park and watched some break dancing teams. But the best thing of all was going to the M & M shop and buying lots of chocolate. America is really really busy and there's lots of junk food. We are going to the 9-11 memorial tomorrow which is pretty special place. I will post again soon. Seems Rohan 

Brooklyn Night Bazaar

Post from Supermum2012: What a day New York put on today. Beautiful spring day which saw me checking out the hip hop guys scamming the tourists in Central Park and finishing it off with a trip over the bridge to the Brooklyn Night Bazaar for the best pork sliders in the known universe.It completely looked like the dodgiest door to nowhere when we first got dropped off in the middle of a random Brooklyn Street but this converted car park by day becomes a groovy little night market after 7pm. 

Recon work for the lads imminent arrival

So met up with these guys when I went for a wander today to check out some sites for the lads. Honestly you could people watch all day in NYC. Only 8 more days till the Jack and Ro arrive.
