Ground Zero & Wall Street!!!

We went to ground Zero the other day. The only wet day we have had in America and we walked over an hour and a half to get there.
We couldnt see alot as they were doing work on it. They are building the memorial building at the moment thats why it looks like a construction site. (cos it is).

There was mesh right the way around what you can see. Ben said it is frowned upon with photos so i suppose thats why they have covered it up so much. Understandable.

Have to say that it was amazing to be there. We had lunch in a cafe right on the corner of that block and i couldnt help wondering who was around when it all happened. There are still buildings being fixed up today. It will be good to go back in a couple of years time and see the memorial building and the memorial museum that they ant to open.

After Ground Zero, we walked to wall street.

And here is the famous powerful bul from the movie Hitch. I wanted Ben to go han put his head up its butt Just like in the movie but he said no. And there were loads of people there doing the same thing.

We found Tiffany & Co. And no Sweet Home Alabama didnt come true. We had a look around. Felt a little out of place. I wanted to know how much some things were. Ben said "Hanna if you have to ask, you cant afford it!" Such a realist.

And the Trump Building. Just wanted to show you the expensicve things on Wall Street.

    Looks like you guys are having fun! Ben should have put posed with the bull.

    Viv recommends going to the Carnegie Deli on Seventh Ave and eating cheesecake...

    Are you still heading down to LA? Was that ever the plan?

    It's just that it's on fire at the moment. Just to let know. I understand America has poor news coverage.

    Well, may the force be with you.
