So ended up going to the World Trade Center after the ferry ride. It was nearby, like a 15 minute walk, and it was nice to go pay my respects before the month ended. Didn’t get to go last Sept, but the year before I went to the 9/11 Museum for like 5 hours trying to read everything in the museum, and there was still an entire section I didn’t get to go through. But definitely want to go back another time to look through the rest of the museum.
The first time I saw the 9/11 Memorial it was overwhelming to take in the fact there were originally 2 120-story buildings that are now completely gone. Obviously I knew what to expect, but just to finally see the memorial in person was a lot to take in.
The city decided to make the original spots of the buildings 2 water basins with the names of everyone who passed away around the borders. Visitors like to place flowers at the names of their loved ones.
(New) World Trade Center
There’s also a new mural new World Trade Center that I saw here. Not exactly sure what it means, but it looked pretty cool.
