Ground Zero
Hello fellow readers!
It’s now the second day here in New York for me, today I
was going to visit the place where the twin towers used to be. I have to take a
cab there because I don’t want walk over 10 miles for it. The ride would take
about 10-20 minutes with depends on the traffic.
I jumped in a cab and was now on the roll. I thought it
we would be there now, but there is SO MUCH traffic, I did not expect that,
although it is New York. On the way there we pass the Time Square, my plans is
to go there in a day or two.
35 minutes later I’m finally
there, I almost had to pay 45 dollars for the drive, talk about a rip off. I
walked up to the place, it wasn’t what I expected, I thought it was going to be
like a construction site. It was two big fountains on the places the towers
used to stand at. I think I need to tell you readers about what did happened
here. Most of you know that this place is where the biggest terrorist attack to
place in USA. The attack took place September 11th 2001, some may
refer to it as ‘’9/11’’. In these particular buildings there was two airplanes
that crashed in to them, also it was two other planes that crashed later that
day. On the memorial stone, it sees that it was over 3000 people lost their lives
that day. I have to say, it feels a bit strange to stand here, it makes me feel
kind of sad, so much pain, so much sadness. They at least did a really beautiful
memorial place, it’s winter now so I can’t really say right now that it is beautiful,
but I see a lot of trees and a lot of grass fields. I imagine in the summer it must
be gorgeous here. I walked around the memorial just so I can got get a clear
view of the whole place.
After about an hour
and a half I decided to just take my pictures, buy a souvenir to give my little
sister and go somewhere else. I want to go down to the water, which is only
five blocks away. I’ll update again maybe tomorrow if I have something
interesting to write about. I might visit time square, I might have to get up a
bit earlier so it will not be as many people as it is in the middle of the day.
Cya!
