Bus Trip to 911 Museum

This Tuesday, we visited the 911 Museum in New York City.

Our trip started with our boarding our luxury bus at the swim club parking lot.

At our arrival in New York, we had a short walk to the museum entrance.

Once inside the museum, we traveled down through the several levels of the bases of the twin towers that hold the visual reminders of the disaster that was the 911 attacks.

 Everywhere we went there were photo opportunities including placing ourselves near som eof the structures .

Outside we saw the pools that mark the locations of the towers

We saw the Chapel and the fence where the firemen hung their boots, never to return to get them.

Next on our agenda was to board the bus for our return trip with a stop for our sumptuous lunch at Mastoris Restaurant.

Tidbits of World History

Frank Lodge, a 65 Club Member, gave us a presentation of a project he has been working on since 1985.

His project is an animated and interactive atlas of world history. He does this with a timeline through history.  He starts his history at 3100 BCE.

Each stop on the timeline along the way to the present provides information at that time on the:

• Government,  Politics and Military 
• Culture, Language and Literature
• Religion and Philosophy
• Science, Technology and Mathematics
• Local Histories

He still has to add the information from 1000 CE until now. It is a daunting project.
