In Lower Manhattan is a Jewel, St Paul's Chapel. Situated directly across from where the Twin Towers once stood, this chapel was a refuge during the weeks following their destruction. We stumbled across St Paul's on our way to Ground Zero, and we were not disappointed. Established in 1766, St Paul's is the oldest working structure in New York. It has survived more that one disaster in its' lifetime, including the Great Fire of 1776, was host George Washingtons' Inauguration Day, and survived the 9/11 bombings - not a scratch! You can see from the rear view just how close the chapel is to Ground Zero. Inside we were met with many memorials to the people of the 9/11 bombings. Personally, these memorials were an emotional tribute to humanity, especially the messages from children.
