I couldn't let this day end without posting some photos from a trip I got to take last summer to New York and a few I found on the internet as a contrast to what I saw last summer. Where was I when September 11th became 9-11? We were living in CA at the time. I was at the YMCA on a Stairmaster watching it all unfold on one of the t.v.'s. I'm sure you remember where you were, too. (Photo Credits: Any photos without my logo were taken by someone else. Wish they were mine, but they aren't.)
I never got to see the Towers in person.
This looks like a war zone. I still can't fathom it.
This is what it looked like last summer.
Ground Zero
The new skyline:
Still standing is right.
I know I already commented on FB but I just loved this post Maria. It was so hard for me to fathom what everyone in NY was going through (still is) and yet my heart broke for them. How great - yet somber - that you were able to see ground zero. I love the bronze frieze (that your mom is looking at) outside of the tribute center - it's so beautiful. And your last photo just left me speechless.
