New York Part 4: Wall Street & Ground Zero

Monday 10:01:11 / Afternoon:

After the small harbor tour with visit to the Statue of Liberty , we went to lunch north through the Financial Destrict to Wall Street further. We are again briefly strolled through Battery Park, at the U.S. Custom House are over and then down Broadway to Wall Street went along. Here we have
for lunch only time an original American hot dog from one of the many street stalls indulgence. The sausage was a bit of getting used to, but otherwise it was quite tasty.

abounds in every corner of it here so before police, who are either traveling by foot or car. But not only in financial Destrict the levy of the police is so enormous, but in all of Manhattan. But we have the least disturbance. It has thus not felt unsafe in any case. Incidentally, the siren wailing as we know it from movies, we have heard in NY rare.

Links: Next to the Wall Street is the Trinity Church . Although it is 86 meters high, but between all the skyscrapers it looks rather small.

Right: 40 Wall Street also The Trump Building called 283 meters high and proud.

located in this district the way, the most and tallest skyscraper in New York. I had not written in the first post I was disappointed at the arrival of the height of the building somewhat, but here it was already huge: D

think that Wall Street will surely be a concept you. These are for many banks and the largest exchange in the world, the New York Stock Exchange (right).
So the Wall Street very clean and rather unspectacular. Prior to most buildings are huge with bollards security barriers and security personnel.

left is the stock market , right the Federal Hall, a former Congress building. In front of the bronze statue of George Washington.

Then we took a walk next to Ground Zero . The image above I have photographed from a Bauplakat because you actually can see very little of the site. All around are fences erected to block one's view.

are why we went to the other side. There, a temporary bridge was built across the street. From here you could see a little more.

The picture shows the shell of the left 1 WTC building. It will sometimes be the tallest building in New York. The building right next to the WTC 7 has already been made ready. And right you see the future 4 WTC .
The website of the WTC way you can see how the whole time to look like.

Opposite the site, the Tribute WTC Visitor Center that we have visited. There is a museum and memorial in one. Here you get more time tells how it all on 11 September was what happened after that and look how to rebuild. In addition, there are also several photographs of the people , personal memorabilia items have been pulled from the rubble like a big deformed steel beam and much, much more shown. Many gifts were issued from abroad. Sometimes I had to keep back the tears really, because it was visible but very poignant and sad at the time what all happened. A visit is worth in any case, but pictures here on I will not post.

But to return to the topic of Japan again, where they had issued an original origami crane of Sadako Sasaki from 1955. She was then bomb victims in Hiroshima, and with its over 1,000 cranes become famous, they had their time in the hospital folded up to her death. Since that date, origami cranes in Japan as a symbol of peace.








The Crane in 2007, donated by Sasakos sister at the Visitor Center. Hope you can see him fairly, he's been more than 1-2 cm in size.

The staircase to the lower part of the museum, were still further 10,000 origami cranes by Japanese school children, relatives and friends the victims of 11th September folded and sent to the Visitor Center. You should stand for the hope for peace in the world.

To be continued ...
