This morning we woke up a little late, so we missed the free breakfast. We left the hotel around 11am ish maybe a little later than that. When we left the hotel we started walking to the nearest subway (#7). When we arrived to the subway, we had to detour because they were closed for maintenance! So, we took another train. While we were on the train this young married couple were there, and the husband said "Me and my wife are going to play number for you all. Its called 'I Miss You' by blink 182" OMG! I immediately turned around and I looked at them and he had an acustic guitar and he started paying away! It was amazing! They both were singing in the subway not giving a fuck what people thought. They both sang really well! I really wish I could have recorded them =( Hopefully they'll be on the subway again one of these days!
We were on the subway because we were on our way to the statue of liberty. When we arrived to the ferrie we had to go through this secuirty inspection thing! It was CRAZY! It was just how they do it at the airport! We had to take off our scarves, jackets, wallets out, belts off, watches, EVERYTHING! Then we had to go through metal detecters! It was crazy! We had to go through all of this JUST to get on the boat to go see the statue of liberty!
This was on our way to the statue of liberty
All these people here where waiting to get ON the boat to go back to New York!
Sergio and his comments hahaha
Beautiful day in NEW YORK!
After we visited the statue of liberty we got on the boat and we went to Ellis Island. This is where all the immigrants went back in the day.
When the boat dropped us off in New York, we were walking towards the subway and there were all these guys outside who draw you in a carttoon way. You know the people that are by venice beach, and they make you sit there and they draw you? Well, this is what they were doing. They told us that it was only $5! I thought, "Wow! Thats cheap!" So, we all did it! We all sat down and they started to draw us individually. After the guy was done drawing me, he put my picture in a frame and he I gave him the $5. Then he said "Its going to be $25" I said "What?! Why?!" Then he said "The frame cost $20 and the picture is $5" I couldnt believe it!!! I got ripped off!!! After I got ripped off, I went to where Soleil was and I told her to NOT get the frame cause they were going to rip her off too! She told the guy that she didnt want the frame, but he kept pushing and pushing her to get it. She didnt get it, so she just paid $5. Then I went to Sergio and I told him to NOT get the frame either cause they were going to rip him off too! But the guy was pushy, and he won. he got $25 from Sergio =/ My picture doesnt even look like me! I hate it. What a waste of money! NEVER AGAIN!
After the stupid picture insident, we went to a hot dog vendor cause we were so hungry. This was our first time buying from a hot dog vendor in New York! The hot dogs were $2. They were ok.
Then after, we went to Wall St!
This man is filthy rich! (Trump)
There was a Tiffany & Co near wall st too
This is ground zero, where the twin towers used to be. OMG there was a museum dedicated to 9/11 and it was so sad in there. I seriously almost cried. They had pieces of the airplanes that crashed into the buildings. They had pictures and videos of what happened that day. It was incredible.
This is ground zero at night
After ground zero, we went to go look for the brooklyn bridge. When we found it, we had to walk A LOT to actually get to the actual bridge. By that time it was dark outside, so all the pictures came out dark and yucky. So, we decided that we were going to go the next day in the morning, so the pictures could come out better =)
After, we called it a day and we headed back to the hotel. Before we went to the hotel we stopped by WHITE CASTLE! This was out first time EVER to go into a WHITE CASTLE! We all got combo #1 which is four mini burgers with fries and a drink. The burgers were so small and cute! lol It had the beef patty, one pickel, grilled onions, and ketchup. They were pretty good. I also got their onion rings. The onions rigs tasted a lot like the ones from PINK's! They were Mmm Mmm GOOD! =)
On our way out from WHITE CASTLE they had a bling teeth vending machine! Sergio bought one lol He got the gold teeth lol
These are the horrible pictures that those idiot/thieves took! I look like a ______________ FILL IN THE BLANK! hahaha Ugh, what a waste of money!
I swear, there's so many things to do here in NY! This doesnt seem like a vacation to me. This is more of an adventure. People are supposed to relax and be stress free while they're on vacations. Not for us, all we do is walk walk walk everywhere! Its sooooo exhausting! People here in NY walk 100 mph! They look like they are always in a hurry! The streets are crowded with people trying to rush everywhere! The drivers here and insane. Nobody follows the traffic signals, pedestrians cross the streets when the signal tells NOT to! Everyone here is thug life. They dont give a fuuuuuuuck! hahaha
Ok, Im going to call it a night! Im TIRED! I have no idea what we're going to do tmrw! Ok bye bye!!
