I hadn't realized that they had already built some buildings there, all I had heard was that a park had been decided on as a memorial where the twin towers had been. I love the idea of the two pools, it will look beautiful when it's all done. I don't think any of us will ever forget that day. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-86007743816670145092010-03-09T11:57:46.627-05:002010-03-09T11:57:46.627-05:00It's good to see what the memorial and museum ...It's good to see what the memorial and museum will look like.

I have never been there --but have read and heard alot about Ground Zero---and what they are doing and have done. It will be such a great tribute to those who died, once it is totally completed. Thanks again for sharing this. Your photos are amazing. <br /><br />I love that little chapel---and cannot believe that it was spared.

It is a place I would love to visit but don't think I ever will, I will have to see it through your eyes. The Church proves how strong it is to still be standing and to be a peaceful reflective place for visitors. I am looking forward to seeing the memorial and Museum as a place to remember all those people who lost their lives on 9/11 and for those still suffering due to the loss of a family members and friends.
