| What a full day we had yesterday. We had
| |
| | proceeded to Ground Zero. The area is
|
| a delightful breakfast in our bed and
| |
| | fenced off with various posters showing
|
| breakfast at about 8:30 am and shared
| |
| | the history of the buildings, the events
|
| some nice conversations with a young
| |
| | of 911, and the names of the more than
|
| couple from Sweden and an older couple
| |
| | 2700 victims. The tragedy of 911 is very
|
| from Holland, the hostess was
| |
| | hard to grasp and when you are right
|
| participating as well. This is one of my
| |
| | there where it happened, you remember all
|
| favourite things about bed and
| |
| | the horrible pictures and the even more
|
| breakfasts, usually they offer really
| |
| | horrible events of that fateful day, now
|
| tasty filling meals and a great
| |
| | more than 31/2 years ago. It is so hard
|
| conversation to go with it.We got going
| |
| | to imagine these 2 enormous buildings
|
| at around noon and hopped off the subway
| |
| | collapsing, surrounded on all sides by
|
| just before the Brooklyn Bridge and ended
| |
| | other highrise towers, and what it must
|
| up exploring the historic Brooklyn
| |
| | have been like that day, with people
|
| Heights neighbourhood a bit, a place with
| |
| | running through the streets, debris
|
| many well-preserved brownstones and
| |
| | raining down, rescue workers risking
|
| expensive apartment buildings with a
| |
| | their lives to help the victims. The
|
| perfect view of downtown Manhattan. Then
| |
| | police presence, by the way, was very
|
| we started our walk across the Brooklyn
| |
| | strong and we weren't sure if there was a
|
| Bridge, and started to soak in the vistas
| |
| | special reason for that or if that was
|
| of the famous skyscrapers.The Manhattan
| |
| | the case every day.After reflecting for a
|
| Bridge is very close to the Brooklyn
| |
| | while and absorbing the incomprehensible
|
| Bridge and the Empire State Building is
| |
| | nature of that tragedy we walked south on
|
| visible on the horizon. Tons of walkers
| |
| | Liberty Street into Battery Park. Lots of
|
| and bikers were making the trekk across
| |
| | African entrepreneurs were around with
|
| the bridge and the weather was pretty
| |
| | suitcases and bags full of merchandise
|
| decent, sunny with about 16 degrees
| |
| | and it seems they were very careful not
|
| Celsius.After the bridge we arrived at
| |
| | to be seen by the police. We had a
|
| NYC City Hall which was blocked off to
| |
| | beautiful view across the bay towards the
|
| pedestrian traffic and there was a big
| |
| | statue of liberty and proceeded to our
|
| congregation of media people on the front
| |
| | next destination - the Staten Island
|
| steps. Tons of people were sitting around
| |
