OUR THIRD DAY IN NEW YORK


by Irene and Hegoa

Hi, we are Irene and Hegoa and we are going to explain our last day in New York.

First of all, after packing our luggage, we took the bus and got a ferry to visit Ellis Island and its museum, which was about the immigrants who arrived at that island and wanted to get into the USA.

Then, we took the ferry again for Liberty Island. There, we saw the Statue of Liberty and took a lot of pictures. It was huge and we were amazed!

After that, we walked around the financial district of Manhattan. While we were walking around Manhattan, we saw very interesting places like the Stock Exchange building, Abraham Lincoln's Statue, the Wall Street Bull...

Once we had lunch, all the group went to the waterfalls of the 9/11 memorial; as you know the anniversary was just the day before. These waterfalls were in the place where the towers of the World Trade Centre were before being destroyed. It was very impressive. Then, we entered the 9/11 Museum. Inside, we got surprised: we could see all the photos, testimonies, phrases, memories and recreations of the tragic day and we were absolutely touched. We didn't have time to visit all the museum, but we would have liked.

Finally, we had to say goodbye to New York and got into the bus. We were a little bit sad, because we didn't want to leave this amazing city.

Bye NY! 🗽🇺🇸💜
