After a few days of rest, on September 2, the school arranged for us to take a day trip to the Statue of Liberty.
Take a group photo before departure, the first time for the U school group to take a photo~
In the morning, Leah drove us to Liberty State Park (Liberty State Park) across the river from Manhattan, where the scenery is acceptable. The two towering “Empty Sky” 911 memorial walls stand prominently. Empty Sky is the official “911” memorial wall in New Jersey, USA , commemorating the victims of the “911” attacks in the state (including the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, Shakersville) and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. 746 victims. it is located in uze In Liberty State Park in West City, the granite passage faces the original site of the twin towers of the World Trade Center on the other side of the Hudson River.
Let’s take a photo with Manhattan , we were the thinnest selves in the past 6 years , especially Ten Nights .
The lower right Alice Island + Statue of Liberty package is so big, so environmentally friendly , most of the tickets in the United States are A4 size. There are 2 kinds of tickets, one is to the observation deck, and the other is to the goddess crown. However, the latter can only be bought by booking online 1-2 months in advance, and cannot be bought on site. Our ticket only goes to the observation deck.
The narrator resembled an old friend, so I took many pictures of her . Ellis Island Immigration Museum. Ellis Island key chain. Isn’t it beautiful~ Since then, the road of no return to buying cultural and creative products has begun.
Leave Ellis Island and continue by boat to the Statue of Liberty The goddess with such a positive perspective can only be photographed on a boat.
The Statue of Liberty weighs 450,000 pounds, is 46 meters high, and the base is 45 meters high. The entire bronze statue is made of 120 tons of steel as the skeleton, 80 tons of copper sheets as the outer skin, and 300,000 rivets are assembled and fixed on the bracket, with a total weight of 225 tons. . The Statue of Liberty is dressed in ancient Greek style and wears a radiant crown with seven pinnacles symbolizing the seven continents. The right hand holds the torch of freedom, and the left hand holds the “Declaration of Independence”; under the feet are broken handcuffs, shackles and chains, symbolizing the freedom from the constraints of tyranny. The Statue of Liberty is modeled after theStatue of Liberty in the Jardin du Luxembourg , Paris , France The famous sculptor Bartholdi took 10 years to complete the sculpture of the statue. The appearance of the goddess was designed from the sculptor’s mother, and the right hand of the goddess holding the torch came from the arm of the sculptor’s wife.
Because the surface is pure copper, when the statue was unveiled in 1886, it was a shiny brown. By 1906, the goddess had oxidized its color to the now-beautiful green.
Before I came to the United States , I didn’t know that the Statue of Liberty was built on the island. The strategy is not enough.
I can only clearly see the two dimples on the left side of my face when I’m thin (the workload of writing travel notes is huge, so I don’t have time to take pictures. Except for some selfies, all the original pictures are used, but my face seems to be pretty even when I’m thin. Meat, there is no way, hey, have the courage to face and accept the true self ), now…I just smiled hard at the mirror, except for meat or meat…I want to lose weight ! lose weight! ! ! Here, I also hope that Shiye and Miss Wei will lose weight, cough, cough, and hope that they will not be beaten. Let’s go back to the weight of 2016 together. No, Miss Wei needs to be thinner ~ From this panorama, we can see Statue of Liberty and Manhattan , New York.
The location relationship, separated by a Hudson River, the goddess faces the Atlantic Ocean due east.
Entrance. The road signs are clearly written , there are 45 steps to the viewing platform, and 207 steps to the goddess crown.
Let’s get one on the front too. May we all have the freedom we want.
The free-range small animals that can be seen everywhere are also a feature of many parks in the United States. Later, when I was walking with Miss Wei in Bucun, I was frightened by the duck’s initiative . See the story of Bucun’s roaming in the back.
After the tour, I went back to school and received a surprise from the school. Because the school’s Cafe was closed on weekends, the school sent us a check of $840 each, which was the first time for me to withdraw money by check at the bank. The experience, the feeling of exchanging a piece of paper for a pile of money is great haha. In addition, the little brother of the bank told me that the number of US dollars in 2-dollar denominations was decreasing when I was withdrawing money. I quickly asked him to help me find a few more. After a few days, he really reserved a few for me, thank you I can’t remember the little brother who looks like. On the way back to the dormitory, I found a [Jinfeng Chinese Restaurant], and I was pleasantly surprised~ I thought I had time to try it, but I never went there.
Our freedom tour is HAPPY ENDING.
Next: “Hello, New York ! Hello, New York City!”
