Hoboken Ferry Terminal

Transportation

We landed here in Hoboken at about 5pm. The trip took much longer than usual--we were floating in the middle of the Hudson for awhile, not on full speed, just idling. I guess we had to wait for a dock to open up in Hoboken.

We were all relieved to be on that boat. My mother and I sat upstairs and it was eerie as we came closer to the WTC site. The whole boat was silent and reverent, almost. No one was gawking or pointing. I remember women putting their head down, purposely to turn away. Others like me, definitely were looking as we drew near, still in shock that the buildings were in fact gone.
