World Trade Center - Ground Zero

We at lunch in downtown and headed off for a walk around the Ground Zero site. It was a long walk. It's a large area.

I have no patience for 9/11 "Truthers." Much as our trip to Berlin, Poland, and Budapest lessened my patience for Holocaust deniers, so our visit to Ground Zero increased my intolerance for people like this guy.
