It was an incredibly moving experience to visit the National September 11 Memorial & Museum (http://www.911memorial.org) in New York City so close to the anniversary. As you venture deep underground you see the twisted steel beams and the foundation that was once beneath the two Twin Towers. You hear the stories of those that were there on the day of the tragedy and it makes it come alive in a way that I hadn't experienced first hand before. I definitely recommend visiting it at some point in your life. It was a nice contrast to walk the streets upon leaving and seeing the resiliency and energy of the city. It is unlike anywhere else in the world.
