Cake Boss

Wednesday is a free day. 

We rode the ferry to Manhattan and walked to Ground Zero. Beautiful reflecting pools.Our camera died on us on the way over. It is pretty old and we tried everything to bring it back to life, but no luck.

We ate hot dog from street vendor, rode ferry back, got on light rail with new friends and went to Hoboken. Just a short ride from campground. We asked a "local" who was on the train how to get to Washington Street as we wanted to get a cupcake at Carlo's Bakery - the Cake Boss. The young lady we asked said she was going to that street and we could walk with her. She knew just where the bakery was. She said she was walking to work at RADIO SHACK - WHERE THEY SELL CAMERAS! She is the assistant manager….. 

So she walked us right to the bakery, we had a delicous pastry then walked up the street to Radio Shack and bought a new camera - the same brand as we had, which we wanted - and it did not cost much more than the one we had looked at at Sam's Wholesale before we left for the trip. 

We have found people here so willing to go out of their way to be helpful.
