Today we started sight-seeing. We went down to Wall Street. It wasn't that exciting, just a street. We didn't go into the stock exchange, but we did stop at the bull. We then went to the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Unfortunately, the floor with the Holocaust exhibit was closed because they were shooting an episode of Law & Order: CI. We did get to see the exhibits about Jewish life before and after the Holocaust, and they gave us a free pass to come back and see the rest.

We wandered around some downtown, and went into the World Financial Center for lunch. We just had some burgers from P.J. Clarke's, but they were very, very good burgers. Impressive, even. Afterwards we went back to wandering. We walked through the cemetery of Trinity Church. There were graves from the 1700s there, the oldest I've ever seen. Some of the headstones were so degraded, only a stump of rock was left. A few blocks away we stumbled upon the African Burial Memorial. Some years ago when the city was working on Broadway, they dug up a cemetery of African-Americans buried in the 1700s. The people were slaves and free people, and had all been buried with ceremonies and dignity. The city had thought all of the graves had completely decomposed and it was ok to dig, but once they started they discovered the graves were still there. Very interesting.
