Statue of Liberty trip

Not from a few days ago. From last week's Thursday. 

Went up to the pedestal. Had to take a "Statue of Liberty cruise" to get to Liberty Island, which is where the statue is. 

This was only the first half of my class trip. I came back to my dorm between 12:40 and 12:50 in the morning. It was crazy.. 

So yeah. Pictures. Enjoy. 

Zoomed in on my phone. Took this pic on the ferry. 

Oh and there's a museum. Here are other versions. Statue ideas. Yeah idk. 

My class went to visit the Statue of Liberty because we had an assignment on this sonnet. Had to write a paper about how her sonnet changed the meaning of the statue. That was a few papers ago. I have so many papers to do.. 

The view towards the city from the pedestal. It was a cloudy day. The current (the water) was awful. It was hard to keep balance on the ferry. Because of the hurricane.. in the south. Yeah uh, I nearly tripped/lost my balance several times. Especially when the ferry was going back to Manhattan at the end of the Statue of Liberty cruise. My feet hurt. 

More landscape but this time with a bridge. 


The view I could get of the statue's arm holding the tablet/book from the pedestal. 

The view I could get of the statue's arm holding the torch from the pedestal. The torch is for "enlightening the world" :). 

And here's the back view of the Statue of Liberty. From back on the ground, obviously. Very nice indeed. 

And one last picture of Lady Liberty for the day. :) 

Also went to Ellis Island to visit the immigration museum there. I didn't take pictures there though. 

After that, we went back to Manhattan.  

-----------------

This was my first time visiting the Statue of Liberty, despite driving past it on several car trips into other parts of NYC. 

On another note, I took a picture in Paris on the bus. 

There's a smaller Statue of Liberty there. It's kinda funny how I took a close-up picture of the one in France before the one right by me in NYC. 

It shouldn't be a surprise on why there's one in France.. (ahem) 

I kept on thinking about how I saw it in France when I was on the ferry to Liberty Island. Thinking about it amused little old me. :') 

--------------------

In Manhattan, we saw a play at night. After we all went to a Japanese restaurant. 

It's called Bernhardt Hamlet. That's what we saw. Yeah. 

It was an extremely long day. Thursdays are long and stressful days, that's for sure. 

Kind of like Mondays. But to the extreme. 

Ok, I'm done. Bye.
