And we headed downtown. Things were fairly uncomfortable between Mel and I at this point, mainly because of my wish to visit the Trade Center site. She thought it was completely disrespectful to go there, but for me it was the main reason I had to go to New York. I'm not really comfortable going into why I felt obligated to visit the Trade Center, but it was out of a sense of obligation. I will say it was not a tourism stop. I almost found the vacation element of the trip to be a technicality, and if forced to choose, I would've easily discarded everything else I did in New York for an hour in lower Manhattan. But, obviously, Mel had significantly different feelings.
