9-11-2012

So, I wasn't planning on writing another blog this week but I did so much cool stuff to day I wanted to post the pictures! I spent the whole day in the Financial District which is the southern most part of Manhattan and the financial capital of the world. It is also the oldest and most historical part of Manhattan. These are a series of pictures from my day, to commemorate 9/11. 

This is the back of the New York Stock Exchange:
