Upon our return home having seen so much of ground zero I searched for photographs on the interent to see just how close the hotel we stayed at (Millenium Hilton) was to the World Trade Center prior to 9/11. In this first pic you can see it just to the right of the twin towers.

 

Included this shot because you can see the buildings on the left in the two shots (I took) looking out towards the water

 

The first of four shots taken from our window on the 20th floor overlooking ground zero.
