Day 11: 06/23 -- In love with NYC!!

We woke up early to take a ferry at 9, to go see the Statue of Liberty. Even though it was only 9am the temperature was already in the high 80's. Everyone seemed tired in the bus and on the ferry, but as soon as we got to the statue everyone seemed to lighten up. This was a dream coming true for every one of us, seeing the Statue of Liberty, and now we were right in front of it. The statue was huge. There was lots of pictures taken and we got a great view of New York from the statue. After, we had lunch, and took the ferry back. During free time we got the chance to see more of New York, which included Wall Street and Brooklyn Bridge, for some of us. Later in the afternoon we went to the 9/11 memorial, the One World Trade Center. We took an elevator ride to the top, while watching a film on how the city evolved in the elevator. At the top we saw a short film about New York, ending with the screens coming up, and us getting an extraordinary view of New York City. We were all amazed, and spent a long time taking pictures afterwards. After this we went to China Town and Little Italy, where we had dinner. We all enjoyed the food and the souvenir shops. I think it's safe to say, that everyone here absolutely loves New York.
