Shortly after departing the hotel, we got to the security
point check-in for
Ellis Island and the Statue
of Liberty. At
Liberty Island, I learned that
the Statue of Liberty is bigger in person than seen in the distance. I took
many pictures with my group and then went to
Ellis Island.
While there, I learned that the living conditions that immigrants had to face
were scarce, and horrible. I saw pictures of crowed people in a dorm room,
filled to the max, with many immigrants left without a bed. In
New York, I saw Little Italy and
Chinatown
with a tour guide named Eric. While on the tour, I learned that
New York City has some of the oldest and busiest streets
in
America.
After the tour was over, my group went with another group to find a place to
eat in Little Italy, ending up at a Pizzeria. The meal was good. My group
ordered a Mozzerella Pepperoni Pizza, and had Gelatto for dessert. The pizza
was good, until the wind blew an umbrella over, which spilled a cold jug of ice
water all over me! Being in the hot sun I dried off quickly. I decided to look
in a shop, and saw a nice iPod case that cost $30. I didn’t want to pay that
much, so I told the cashier that I didn’t have enough money for it until I got
it down to $22. This case can charge an iPod if properly turned on. Overall
, today was a nice day and the trip has been fun.
