I'm in Newark Liberty Airport as I type this, in the Porter Airlines lounge. Pluses for Porter: snacks included, non-alcoholic beverages included, free wifi for Porter customers. Minuses for Porter: delays (I can't remember the last time a Porter flight I was on took of in time, except maybe between Toronto and Ottawa). Whatever....comes with travelling, I guess.
I visited the 9/11 Museum, which I wasn't going to do, but I was up early and it opened at 9 AM. I didn't take many photos, partly because it felt disrespectful to me, but there are also many parts of the museum where photos are prohibited. It really is a well-designed museum.
I went back to Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine today, which I visited in September (see
here) and earlier this week, on Wednesday. This Wednesday, I found out that there is a tour that climbs one of the staircase inside, all the way to above the ceiling, that occurred today, and includes going outside to a view of Manhattan. More on this later--hopefully I got some good photos.
In the meantime, some random photos of Christmas in New York..... Click to enlarge and inspect.....

| One of the windows at Bloomingdale's. |
 |
| Another window at Bloomingdale's. Note that the snowman/person on the left is holding a phone. He (she?) takes photos of people at the window, which are posted and available on the internet. I've seen mine but haven't been able to download it, if that's possible. |
 |
| Look! It's the Cartier Store, wrapped up like a present you'll never own! |
 |
| Miniature Canada Geese wearing giant rings, or ordinary-sized Canada Geese wearing giant rings around their necks. Lord and Taylor, New York City. |
 |
| Gingerbread men carrying a house. Slave labour!!! |
 |
| Macy's. Obviously. |
Okay, the Porter plane has just arrived and I need to get my boarding pass verified or something because I printed my own. More tomorrow.
