Interesting pics, thanks for sharing.

Is that the St Paul's near Ground Zero with the steeple and the bell given by the people of London? I seem to recall that Washington was associated with the place.

Exactly, that is the same church. New York was the nation's first capital, and Federal Hall on Wall Street has a large statue of Washington in front to commemorate his inauguration which was actually held there.

interesting perhaps, but where the kilts pics? or did I miss them... after all this is the kilt picture section?

Thanks Galician - thought I had taken an outside pic but can't find it, however I have found my pic of the 9/11 Bell in the grounds.
