My Mom's First Visit to Ground Zero

After we went to St Paul's Chapel, my mom and I took a walk around Ground Zero, which is a pretty big area to walk around.

Progress on the new building is moving fast - the building has certainly grown since my first visit to Ground Zero three months ago. And take a look at the building's infrastructure - heavy metal!

Ground Zero sits close to the water, so I took my mom through the World Financial Center over to the water side for a view of the Hudson River opening into the bay and the Statue of Liberty. This is also where the Fire Fighters Memorial is located. The dying and wilted flowers were still there from the most recent September 11 anniversary.

Leaving the waterfront, we turned back towards the city to finish our walk around Ground Zero. After some delicious New York style pizza, we stepped into the temporary 9/11 museum (it will be moved once the new buildings and plaza are finished).
