On Friday we walked to the financial district to visit The 9/11 Memorial. The memorial honours the innocent lives lost in the terroist attacks of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001. It is beautifully designed, with two large pools located in the place of the original Twin Towers and the names of the nearly 3000 victims inscribed around them. Here are some pictures from our visit:
 |
| One of the two pools. You can see the swamp white oak trees, which were brought to the site from nurseries nearby the three attack sites. |
 |
| It's heartbreaking to see family members remembering their loss. Databases were available around the complex to help locate the names of the victims. |
 |
| Certain things really tug on your heartstrings....."Sylvia San Pio Resta and her Unborn Child". |
 |
| Beautiful architecture. |
 |
| The names of the brave, brave people who fought back on Flight 93. |
 |
| The "Survivor Tree" - nursed back to health and replanted in the World Trade Center Plaza. |
