New York day 2

  • It stopped raining yesterday. There were actually blue skies which I don't think I have seen in New York yet!
  • We went to Liberty State Park and took a ferry out to Ellis Island and to Liberty Island. The Statute of Liberty was beautiful. I loved it, I have never seen it that close up. Liberty park was my favorite from last year, and I still think it is my favorite.
  • On Ellis Island they have a computer where you can look up you families name and see if and when they traveled through Ellis Island. I found two of my families names. They came from Sweden in 1902. So that was pretty awesome to see and to think about.
  • We went into the city to Chinatown-Canal Street. We did a little shopping and just kinda walked around looking at everything.
  • Then we went to Times Square-Broadway at night, I really don't know why, that place is just so entertaining to me.
  • On the subway I am almost 95% sure I saw a model from this years Americas next top model. I almost asked her, but I chickened out for some reason. I think it was Marjorie.
  • Then we ate dinner in the village at Caliente. It was nice, but so loud. Katja actually started screaming HELP just to see if people could hear her...they couldn't.
  • And I learned some Italian words. lol
Today we are going to Central Park to have either a picnic or lunch there. The tour we wanted to go on was booked so I think we are going on Sunday. Then tonight is whatever Katja has planned. I cant wait to find out what it is.

(Oh...we didn't say, but I am pretty sure we both kinda backed out on the ice skating...It was like $40 a person and neither of us can skate, so I don't think we will be doing that.) lol

Anyway....I am having so much fun, its going to be so hard to leave!!
