The Adventures of A One To World Intern: A Touching Number Two


You cannot live in New York City without paying homage to this place.  It is eloquent, quiet and very historic.  Number two on the countdown goes to: 

The 9-11 Memorial

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the 9-11 Memorial, take some time to do so.  It is free, but you have to reserve a certain time slot and they can book up relatively quickly.  Click on the following link to secure a visitor pass:  http://www.911memorial.org/visitor-passes.  As the 10th Anniversary of the 9-11 attacks was in 2011, visiting this sacred place really connected the heartache of that day and New York City’s determination to heal and move forward.  The remembrance fountains are a sight to be seen and definitely something everyone should see at least once.
