We spent Christmas afternoon at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City
Although the museum is under construction, this is a "must see" if in New York.
Tickets are free / available at www.911memorial.org but plan ahead as there is a significant wait.

Walking into the Memorial site the largest image is that of the new One WTC going up - Freedom Tower
but the 9/11 Memorial is centered on the footprints of the old World Trade Center North and South Towers - you are constantly reminded this is a construction site
below is the new museum - it is between the old tower footprints
each tower footprint is surrounded by a low wall engraved with the names of the fallen
south tower footprint - each footprint is a pool constantly replenished by a waterfall
museum is itself still a construction site
museum and south tower footprint
north tower footprint - note names of the dead are backlit and visible by day or night

as we walk away from the site we see Freedom Tower with coloured lights - Merry Christmas to all
