Well would you take a look at that! We were walking towards... I forget what, really, and we came upon (by complete mistake) the Ed Sullivan Theatre, which is where the Late Show with David Letterman is filmed. We tried to get tickets to see a show but apparently you have to book 'em atleast 30 years a head of time. It didn't really matter... we wouldn't have really had time anyway. (Yes, I do realise that I am in denial.)

This is the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum right beside Pier 83, which is where we rode THE BEAST! This place was massive but pretty damned boring. There were huge authentic fighter planes on a massive runway that was actually used during the World Wars, and they also had a bunch of submarines and stuff, too. The only thing that I found extremely interesting, though, was the exibit inside of the museum that focused on the events of September 11th. There was showcases with debris and remains from the site, like crushed laptops and floppy disks ina pile of dust and crumbled cement. There was also a huge chunk of the plane that crashed into the twin towers as well as a collection of "missing" posters that families had pinned around the city in hopes that their loved ones had excaped, or been found. There were also drawings done by little children of various things relating to the event. It was really, really sad.

This is when the three of us where on this allmighty trek across all of the city in search for Ground Zero. On our way we found a resteraunt called Mustang Sally's, which I thought was pretty damed cool.

Yeah, this is me pretending to fit in and making it seem as if I am walking up the steps to my little apartment in Greenwhich Village. Hey, it'll happen!

Ditto :)

TThis was a huge assed sign that hung over this massive building to cover up the smashed windows that we saw at the Ground Zero site. All of the stores and towers around the big, open area were either boarded up or covered- still, after two years. They are beginning to build again, though.

This is going back to the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum. They had this little "store" I suppose you could call it, where you fill out a little form and then the people make you an authentic Dog Tag made with the actual machines used to make dog tags for soldiers in the war. Isn't that neat? My Mom got one for my brother and I got on for my boyfiend. They both liked them!

This is at Ground Zero between the bars. The entire site is blovked off by a huge fence that has writing all over it... everything from simple "God Bless You's" to "I will miss you forever, Daddy" in little kids writing. There is a cross that stands in the middle of all of the construction going on there made out of metal beams that were actually used to hold up the twin towers, which is kind of neat.

Here's me and my Mom at Ground Zero. We both look so incredibly sad- we weren't really. Maybe a little unsettled, but you can't really stand infront of Ground Zero and say "cheese". It was quite awkward...

This here, is just how New York looks like now. The big space is where the Twin Towers were and it looked sooo empty. Every single square inch in New York is used up to the bitter end with buildings and it was so weird to see just a gaping space with nothing there...
