Day # 9

Friday already! The days are really flying by quickly! Today and tomorrow are our last full days here, so we decided to step it up and actually get out of bed before 10:30.
We got up around 8 and decided we needed some exercise. But first we needed coffee, so we went to a cute little place called Mojo Coffee



We walked back down to the Hudson River Park, and walked all the way to Battery Park, which is the southern tip of the island. Here are some pictures of the Statue of Liberty as we walked down towards Battery Park:
Way, way off in the distance (in the center)


A little closer- see it just to the right of my head



View from very tip of Battery Park, the closest we could get without actually taking the ferry over


Some sights along the way:


















This is the new Freedom Tower- there in the back, center. When it's finished it will be twice as high as it is here!








Next we walked through the financial district and down Wall St












Me and Harry :)


After walking for 3 hours we decided it was time for breakfast tacos at Tacombi


This space just had tables set up, and a retro food truck to order lunch tacos.



On the left is a ticket counter where you buy one ticket per taco...



And hand it to this guy who makes the tacos.


Eggs, avocado, jalepeno, and potatoes- yum!





The new friends we met at the wine bar the other night called us and invited us to their apartment for a party they were having. So we went for a couple hours and made other new friends and had so much fun!





We left there and went to Murrays Cheese Shop, where we had bought tickets to take a tour of their cheese caves. It was awesome!

We all got name tags when we got there. Scott was "Lingering"




I was "Tart"



























After the caves, we had all we could eat cheese! So much fun!









We had the best time!
