We eat breakfast somewhere and then wander around the city, mostly to bookstores, bead shops (L designs jewelry on the side) or split up and meet later at home for a 'nap'.
Yesterday I went down to the City Hall exit on the N/R. Just to take a peek into J & R Electronics to see if they had an adapter that would take a European three prong plug and convert it to an American plug. (They didn't)
Then I walked over a block to GroundZero. I've been there several times in the last few months. It looks smaller to me now. There is traffic driving by and the fence around it has been replaced with one that is uniform and looks more permanent than the original, multi-section fence. That one looked a little thrown together. There are captioned photos on the fence for the tourists to look, the two towers still standing, a history of the site, a shot of the distruction. The empty space inside the fence looks huge, I know, I said the place looks small and now I say the hole is huge. Both are true.
It's hard to imagine that those two towers ever stood on this space. When I used to take people to see the city from the top of Tower II the whole area seemed vast. Now I don't see how they squeezed them in here.
Everyone should know that the latest addition to the site is one of those arching pavilions, the kind that you see at train stations. It will be the gateway to the area. Three workmen were in the process of hanging up the letters of a sign. It said W O R L D T R A D E C E N
I took the C to West 4th then the A and was sound asleep by the time L got home.
