Some more pics from OKC. I finally got my memorial pics developed today. I think the most disturbing part about it is that everything around it is still so normal. The memorial is simply a little piece of another world in the middle of the city. I have many more pics, and uploaded them all to a FaceBook album. I'll get around to posting them all somewhere else eventually.

In which it is blatantly obvious that we haven't slept in a week and a half.

Note the bags under our eyes...lol
Cristina and myself, by the bye, at the Spaghetti Warehouse

"We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity."

A message from News Team 5 the day of the bombing


The Survivor's Tree

There are records of this tree dating back to the 20s. Even though the building to the right of the tree (and so to the right of the Murrah Federal building) sustained significant damage, the tree is still there and still alive. It's simply surreal.
