NY Waterway Ferry Terminal

I actually was able to find my mother in line, despite my cell phone not working and the fact that there were literally thousands of people gathered there. Many of them were covered in dust from the WTC collapse.

We waited about 2 hours to get on a boat. Not too bad, all things considered. The trip took much longer than usual, and we had to travel south on the Hudson, close to the WTC site. The boat was somber as can be--no one was gawking as we passed the site--I remember people putting their heads down, almost in a reverential way.
