What's left of New Amsterdam in Lower Manhattan

One = Wall Street that used to be a dike [think about that!] and there's more to this story in what is now called "Lower Manhattan". On days off from work, your MesaZona blogger took the time to walk-and-see the area dating from the early 1600's - that's more than  200 years before any Europeans or Pioneers from Utah arrived to colonize what is now Arizona  . . .
