Steve went to the TV tower and the Financial building on Saturday then again on Sunday because the people who flew in Saturday night wanted to see them. They are on the other side of the river from where he is staying so he took the sight seeing tunnel which had a cable that pulled a small train car that held around 15 people. There were all sorts of crazy lights in the tunnel. Sunday was a sunny and much clearer day, so it was worth it to go back.
The Financial Building is 100 stories tall. Steve said it took maybe 60-90 seconds to get from the ground to the 100th floor. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records, 2009 for the highest observation deck. It also had a glass floor. Below are some pictures.

Cool pictures...don't think I could have stood on the glass floor though. Only 2 days left :)
The City goes on forever...but I guess that's what you get with 16 million people!
