Mandag / Monday

Både søndag og mandag har vi gået ret meget. Mandag startede vi med at gå ind til Ground Zero. Det var første gang min niece på 15 og min nevø på 12 var derinde, og det var faktisk en ny oplevelse at være der sammen med dem og tale om det igen. Nu har vi alle vi andre levet med det her i 16 år, men at se nogle andre virkelig fatte det for første gang gjorde det så virkeligt igen.
Nogen havde sat en hvid rose i et af navnene. Så smukt.

On both Sunday and Monday, we walked a lot. On Monday, we started by walking to Ground Zero. It was the first time to see this for my 15 year old niece and my 12 year old nephew, and it was a totally new experience being there with them and talking about it again. By now, all of us lived with this for 16 years, but watching someone else really understanding for the first time, made it real again.
Someone had put this white rose in one of the names. So beautiful.

Bagefter gik vi hen til Brooklyn Bridge for at gå over. Det er virkelig rart at være her med min søster og børn - hun har nogle ret gode ideer til hvad vi kan. Jeg havde f.eks. aldrig tænkt på det her, selv om det er med i en del film. (Hvor der aldrig er så mange mennesker som i virkeligheden!)
På vej derhen kom vi forbi et lille "farmer's market" - hvor de havde lækkert garn!
Så nu behøver jeg ikke gå i garnbutik*.

Afterwards, we walked to Brooklyn Bridge in order to cross on foot. It is so nice being here with my sister and kids - she has great ideas about what to do. I would never myself have thought of this, although I've seen it in a few films. (On film, it is never as crowded as in real life!)
On the way, we passed a small "farmer's market" - where they sold really nice yarn!
So now I don't have to visit a yarn shop*.

Det var en meget fin gåtur over broen, og bagefter tog vi undergrunden op til "375 Fries", hvor vi fik - ja - pommes frites. De var gode! Vi gik så til Chinatown og fik kinesisk is. Også lækkert. Derefter tog vi toget til Central Park, hvorefter vi gik tilbage.

It was a nice walk across the bridge, and afterwards we took the underground up to "375 Fries", where we had - well - fries. They were great! Then we walked to Chinatown and had Chinese ice cream. Also delicious. After that, we took the train to Central Park, and walked back.

De sidste kilometer var med en del jamren. Fra alle. For hold op, hvor kan man få ondt i fødderne!
Tirsdag kan jeg godt leve med at gå max. 20.000 skridt......

* Som om

The last few kilometers had some whining. From everyone. It's crazy, how much your feet can hurt!
On Tuesday, I can survive walking less than 20,000 steps......
