I love checking out other FReepers' profile pages. I'll be sure to "indulge" on my breaks from training today.

I hope today is truly a TGIF for all of you! May God shower you all with abundant blessings. Have a great time on FR's Finest and {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to you all!

Hey, ya'll check this out. FReeper Knighthawk, from the Netherlands, came to the U.S. during the week of 9-11 - and visited New York. He was at the WTC for the first anniversary of 9-11. Here is an excerpt and the link.

If you get a moment, can you please bump his thread and tell him hello or something? Thanks !

My first trip to the US and NYC

I always wanted to visit the US, and I thought it was about time to do it. So I decided to go in the second week of September, so I could be in the US on Patriots Day.

At Schiphol there were special security measures. There was a second metal-detector before we could board the plane. The Jumbo-jet was not filled to capacity. After a 6-7 hour flight we landed at Newarkin the morning (about 10.30), from where I took the bus to NYC, Penn Station. It was a nice summer day. After a subway ride I first went to the WTC-site and St. Pauls Chapel. It was busy, and a lot of reporters and camera teams were filming the site and the Chapel. There were a lot of workers at the site, and one could come quite close to it.

St. Pauls was also very emotional, with all the messages at the gate. After a while I left for Battery Park, to see the Statue of Liberty. There were also some of the remains of the Dutch legacy onf NYC, but what most impressed me were the Statue and the big statue of the eagle at the memorial for military personel located near the ferry to the island. I was really impressend, what a beautiful statue. Since I was close to the Indian museum, I decided to go there. I first had to go through a metal detector, and there were more guards than people attending the museum!

After the tour I went to sit in the Bowling Green park, and visited Trinity Church. It was time to go to the hotel, which was located near Time Square. There was a large police precence too, like in the rest of the city. We don't have that in the Netherlands, cops rather stay at the bureau.

Good Morning, Billie!!
I will be in and out today. Since it is Friday, I need to finish upsome projects before we gather on the corner tonight!
As Louie once asked, "What do they call women who stand on the street corner at night?"
My response: "Freeper Babes?"
So meet just three of Fresno's "Freeper Babes"!

That one is really something, isn't it?! Have been to the Grand Canyon and have flown over it several times, but never at sunrise (or sunset) - outstanding!

You bet! Isn't it great? We need more folks in this country with Knighthawk's outlook, imho....
