new york

Hello fellow students. As some of you know, I went to Washington DC, Virgina, New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina. Well, yesterday we went to the city (New York). We went to the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building.

To get to the Statue of Liberty we had to ride a ferry. The ferry was full of people. It was fun to ride the ferry.

It was very windy at the Statue of Liberty. I felt like I was going to fly away.(Not really, but it was really strong.) The Statue of Liberty was very beautiful. It is made out of copper. It was just redone a little while ago.

The copper was oxidized, and that is why it is greenish blue color. Oxidized means to react with oxygen, so if you see something made out of copper and it is greenish blue that means it is oxidized.

We also went to the Empire State Building. we got tickets to go to the observatory and we went up 80 floors, and then stopped. Then we went up 6 more floors, and then we went outside and looked over the edge of the Empire State Building. It was a long way down. It was a beautiful sight. There are 102 floors on the Empire State Building.

Oh yeah, and we went to ground zero where the World Trade Center was before the disaster. It was very messy and loud there. People where building a new one. It was boring and too loud and messy for my liking. That's what I did when we went to New York.

Hope you guys are having as much fun as me... Merry Christmas.
