Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty...
by Alazne and Iker
Waking
up in New York is only exciting in the films. After sleeping on the
floor, having a shower and a full breakfast, I was late for the bus. Luckily,
I've very lazy partners so I wasn't the last one. A quick
trip of 15 minutes left us ready to take a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. There we met Nancy, our extraordinary guide for
our whole stay in New York, and after having time for taking some photos the
ferry left us in Ellis Island.
Our last stop in New York was going to be the September 11th Memorial Museum. Inside the building, the respect was the only thing you could hear. Everyone was quiet, astounded, trying to assimilate the tragedy that had happened there 15 years ago. Outside the building two fountains in memory of the victims were breaking the silence.
The 5 minutes turn to the
bus was too fast comparing with the "short" journey of 6 hours and a
half coming to Scituate again. Enough time to relax, reflect, and relax again.Arriving at the school was like
a mirage. We greeted our partners,
and without having enough movement during the day, some of us we went to have
an ice cream somewhere near. Aware of the day of tomorrow I came back home
after 3 days. Home, sweet home, but I needed to pack.

Day 14 - New York 3
When we finished our lunch, after buying some water, we visited the Museum of the Twin Towers (National September 11 Memorial & Museum). We all were moved about what happened 15 years ago.
At 3:30p.m. after visiting a building designed by Calatrava, we took the coach which took us to SHS. At 7:00p.m. approximately, we stopped to have dinner.
At last. After 7-hours drive we arrived at Scituate at 10:30 p.m. Our American friends were waiting for us at the high school.
We drove back home and we made the suitcase.
It's been a very tiring day!
Nobody likes waking up at 6:30a.m.
Unluckily, we had to wake up at that time today. We had breakfast at 7:00a.m.
as we should take the coach to NYC
at 8:00a.m.
Once in the city, we took a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. It was so hot that some people had to drink a cold lemonade.
After visiting these beautiful places, we went to Wall Street and we took pictures with the famous bull. At 1:30 p.m. we had lunch in a square. Some of us ate pizza and some others ate hamburgers or nuggets from the Burger King.
