Lauren and I got up earlier than the others, had breakfast and shot down to Star Bucks to send some Blogs. (We have not been able to get wireless internet at Easton or New York Campgrounds, and will not for another few days sorry). You will be pleased to know that Starbucks here has real café lattes and a lot of the more normal foods we are used too? We took a train in to Times Square and lined up at the ticket booth to get cheaper tickets to the Lion King. As it happened there was nil available for that show so decided to go to Mary Poppins as it had 40% off. It was a horrible rainy cold day so we all wanted to be inside.
Hi its Olivia here. We went to Mary Poppins it’s about two kids being lazy and naughty at the start, so Mary Poppins came to look after them and she had magical powers. She had an umbrella with a parrot at the bottom and had a little bag and she was taking big stuff out of it, it was like magic. There was one part when she threw her umbrella behind and in went really big. Mary Poppin’s was walking funny upstairs every time and it made me and all the people Laugh, I sometimes walk upstairs funny now like Mary Poppins. There was a statue then there was a thunder storm and the statue came alive. In the end she made the children nice and the family happy and nice as well. After the show mum bought me an umbrella like Mary Poppins had. At the end bit she flew around the people sitting in the crowd watching. It was all a live show and I really really liked it. by Olivia.
Geoff and I went in with quite low expectations, but were pleasantly surprised, it was a fantastic show. As you have read, Olivia said she really really liked it, I’m telling you she was ecstatic and would not go anywhere without her Mary Poppin s umbrella and doing a few dance numbers with it as well?
After Mary Poppins we went to the Ground Zero Twin Towers site, unfortunatley not
really seeing much as it just looks like a giant construction zone, there is fencing all around, they are well on the way to completion of the new memorial. It was after five and we were disappointed that the memorial museum had closed already. The significance in history of this event is to big not for the kids to try and grasp, so we will make time before we leave to come back.

howdy doody. best way to get a history lesson on 9/11 is to visit the old church just over the road from ground zero. it was used as the headquarters for the rescue effort in the immediate aftermath and is a bit like a shrine now. there's a timeline out front, inside are heaps of storied and other historical, info really worth a look. hope you get this b4 u leave NY. sounds like you guys are having a blast - go hard!
