In this group:

• The ladder Company 3 engine
• A section of the steel facade from one of the towers
• A section of a column that was bent over from the stresses of the building collapsing
• The lone surviving pane of glass from one of the towers, after collapse!
• A concrete pillar with the call outs of some of the departments involved
• Lynn and Holly standing in front of the lone surviving tree after the collapse of the towers
• Some outside shots of One World Trade
• Two final shots of Lynn and Holly at Ground Zero. Each single stream of water in the waterfall in the background represents a life lost at 9/11

Tomorrow...day two from New York City

[Xplantdad]

Part four, Continuing the tour of New York city-Central Park, The Dakota Apartment Homes and The Natural history Museum-May 25th


On day two in New York City Lynn and Holly wanted to go walk Central Park and end up at Strawberry Fields. They also wanted to see the Dakota Apartment homes where John Lennon lived (and was murdered). I believe that Yoko still lives there?


They also wanted to go to the American Museum of Natural history so that was our next stop.


There are also miscellaneous pictures going to and after both places


Enjoy the pics!


In this group we have the Central Park/Strawberry Fields/Dakota pics...And Holly tired after the long walk from one end of Central Park to the other

Part five, Leaving New York-getting the rental car and heading to Canada May 26th


So once we were done in New York City, we 'Uber-ed' our way to Jersey City New Jersey and went to the rental car place to pick up the rental car.





Once we picked up the car after some issues (Thanks Dan!)-we headed to Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken...since it was right down the street...and we had promised Holly we'd take a trip over there...so off we went, before we left to drive to Canada.


Here's those pics (and by the way, the "treats" were good)!

Then it was time to head north, eh? Off towards Canada, through upper state New York

[Xplantdad]

We cruised through the border pretty easily into Canada-and arrived at Keith and Dale Tedford's house at around 9pm on May 26th


We were pretty tired, so Keith and Dale already had our accommodations ready and we were off to sleep pretty fast.

Part six, First day in Canada-FULL of cool surprises-May 27th

On Sunday, we got quite a few surprises.



First off, arrangements had been made for some of the Canadian Yenko.net members to visit at Keith and Dales's. It was also Keith Tedford's 72nd birthday-and his whole family showed up for the great celebration, too! Keith and Dale were also nice enough to have Holly partake in the birthday celebration as well...since her birthday was three days later



We need to thank Ryan and Amy Weaver for driving for a few hours from Elora and taking time out of their busy weekend to meet up with us. Fred Cini also came from Wasaga Beach (about 2 1/2 hours away) so he could meet up with us, too!. Andy Elliott and his wife Julie (PeteLeathersac) also came for a while as well.



Again, we have to thank all of you for taking time from your busy weekend to come meet up with us crazy folks
In the first picture...left to right is Lynn, Fred Cini, me, Holly in front of me, Keith Tedford, Ryan Weaver behind Keith...and Dale Tedford in front of Ryan!


In the second picture...left to right is Andy Elliott, his wife Juile, Holly, Keith Tedford, Lynn...and Dale Tedford!


The third picture is the cake that was made by one of the friends of Keith's daughter...and it's a representation of the 1969 COPO Chevelle that Keith bought brand new in 1969! In fact, Keith had two buddies (one was there for the birthday celebration) that also bought 1969 COPO Chevelles brand new too-so if could imagine, there were THREE of them all in the same area! Keith and John's were silver and the other one was Hugger Orange!


Enjoy the pics!
