We  went down to the financial district in Manhattan on Friday and got to see the two 9/11 Memorial pools. The whole place is just beautiful and moving.

People stuck some roses  into some of the names. Red white and blue roses. This is the point when I started to cry a little bit.

i was very glad we got to  go there.

Here are some of the buildings – they’ve done such an  impressive job of rebuilding.

They have these big barriers in the street  blocking off traffic, but a police car came by and the barriers loweredfor it. It was cool to see.

I did a little video of the barriers lowering, but the technology of trying to do it on my iPhone is a little overwhelming right now for me. I’ll have to do that when I get back to my familiar laptop.

Here’s a mural  on the side of the firehouse there as well as photos of firefighters who lost their lives.

That is all for now.

ok then,
