NYC

I was in NYC last week on business and while I was there, I walked by the 9-11 Memorial.  It's all walled off, you can't really see anything (and you need reservations and tickets to enter...they're booked right now until mid-October), but through a sliver of barricade you can see the trees and fountains.  There's still a huge area under construction, it looks very much as it did when I was there 8 years ago, 5 years ago, last year...


The firehouses surrounding the WTC still have flowers, pictures, letters from family members and candles. 

It really doesn't get any easier, does it?  I suppose someday it will, but now, even ten years later it still feels a bit raw.
