Lower Manhattan

Yesterday we took the Subway down to Lower Manhattan. There are lots of huge, beautiful buildings (as there are in Midtown where we've been staying).

This is a monument in Battery Park. I don't know if you'll be able to read the sign in the picture below, but this is a monument that was damaged on 9/11 at the World Trade Center, and they moved it to Battery Park and lit an eternal flame.

We went to Ground Zero, and it is basically a construction zone. They are in the process of constructing the new building and memorial.

We also went over to Wall Street and saw the Stock Exchange and Federal Hall.
