I had the most amazing pretzel whilst waiting for the Staten Island Ferry and am quite disappointed it was the only one I had whilst in New York. When the ferry arrived there was a mad rush to get on it which was quite stressful but we made in and got a seat outside ready for the obsessive picture taking when we saw the statue of Liberty. Out of all my experiences seeing the statue has to be the one that was most like something out of a film i was crazily taking photo after photo I almost forgot to actually look at it. The ferry was so unbelievably cold i couldn't actually make the whole journey outside as my hands were in pain (i was too scared to wear gloves in case i dropped my camera in the sea). The next stop on our tour of America was Ground Zero, the is such a sombre atmosphere when there it is eerie. Knowing your in that place is so overwhelming. We went to the tribute centre which was one of the most inspirational place ive ever been in my life. There were objects they'd collected from the rubble such as ID cards and even a plain window. There was a room where the walls were just covered in photos of those who'd died. Finally there was drawings children had drawn and things people who'd visited had written. It was one of the most upsetting places ive ever been yet so inspiring and amazing. "On that terrible day, a nation became a neighbourhood, all americans became New Yorkers."
