Birthday present - Being a tourist
This day was partly planed since some time back, more precisely since my birthday when me and Lisette received a crown ticket to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. So after registering at Berkeley we headed down to Battery Park to catch the ferry and we skipped our first queue. When we arrived we were given our wrist-bands to get our proper VIP treatment =P We then went through security checks that were tougher then those at the airport and had to put all our belongings in a locker secured with my fingerprint – omg. To then climb what felt like a million stairs and it only got smaller and smaller the closer we got to the top.
But when we got to top all sweaty we were welcomed by an incredible view through tiny windows. And it was only 7 of us let up there at a time cause it is now very limited so we stayed for about 15 minutes talking to the park-rangers – Jon and Ebony. And had a little “photo shoot” with Jon to then get his email because he wanted us to send him it to put up by the Statue of Liberty as he put it “Jon with the most beautiful ladies” awww.
The camera went of all day.. We then went on to go to Ellis Islands – but Lisettes feet were well too tired to keep going so she headed home and I went on to learn some more about immigration to the States which was very interesting.
Thank you soo much Ed, Ann and David for this amazing day. I will let the rest of the story be told in pictures!
Miss you all!
