Welcome to the STATUE OF LIBERTY!!!
Let's do a running picture!!!
Walt, Val & Heta match Lady Liberty
Ping & Toshi enjoy the view from the ferry...
We're taking the subway from Battery Park up to Grand Central...
And we all made it! Now we can call ourselves New Yorkers ;)
Time for a visit at the United Nations!
We had a guided audio tour around the galleries, the General Assembly & Security Council
We left the hotel at 8 AM to go see the most popular
sightseeing statue in US: The Statue of Liberty. Everyone was excited, and
nobody got disappointed. But before going there, we had a little adventure
going on a boat. All of this was happening with really nice weather outside. We
took the ferry boat to the Liberty Island and had time to walk around, hang out
and take jumping pictures in front of the 10 story-high statue. The view of the
city was also pretty great from there…
After an awesome morning seeing the beautiful statue and taking
pictures, we went to a fun ride in the subway. We stopped at Grand Central
Station to eat lunch in the food court and we also had some time to shop
there and walk around the huge train station.
Following our list of cool things to do, we went to see the
United Nations. There, we had a tour, where we learned about all the member
countries and the activities that UN does to help the world from starvation and
war and disease. It was cool to go there because a lot of people know of the UN
but do not know what the organization actually does.
Since everybody likes shopping, we had some time in SoHo- a
neighborhood in Manhattan. After a whole day walking through NYC, everybody was
starving, so we headed to Chinatown to eat in a typical Chinese Restaurant over
there. Everybody learned how to use chopsticks and of course, we took a lot of
pictures. And the last- before going back to the hotel we had some spare time
in Chinatown to bargain for cheap I <3 NY t-shirts and other souvenirs (Made
in China, of course!).
At the end of the day everyone was really happy and we are
having an awesome experience in the “Big Apple” together.
