The Statue of Liberty

This Friday i got off work early and went to see the Statue Of Liberty with my teacher Steen, Christina and Julie came too. We took one of the last ferrys, so we had to choose between getting off Liberty Island and Ellis Island. But when we got there with the ferry it wasn't hard to choose, because we could not get very high up in the Statue of Liberty, because of terrorrism. So we just took some pictures of the statue, and got off at Ellis Island where there is a museum.

In this museum we could see how people used to come through Ellis Island before getting into America, which didn't seem as bad as i thought. I thought that it was either "go" or "no go", but they got several medical checks, and if the imigrants were sick they were sent to hospitals. And if they were too sick to cure, they got sent home free of charge. And only 1% got sent home.

The museum was okay, but the view over the New York City skyline was amazing! When you look over at Brooklyn it looks like when we look at Malmö from Denmark, and then when you turn around a little, you can see this huge wall of skyscrapers which look even bigger from a distance!
