Chloe's New York: Day Two

Today we woke up early to quickly go to Battery Park to catch the Statue Cruise to the Statue of Liberty. We ate a bagel on the way, and we drank some orange juice. We took the subway and then walked to the boat. Our first boat was named Miss New York. It was a pretty short ride to Liberty Island. Our first stop on the island was the gift shop. It was big and they had sculptures of Lady Liberty, books, and t-shirts. We didn't spend very much money there. We bought a magnet, postcards, and a picture frame.

The Statue was huge and very pretty. We took a bunch of pictures of her. We could also see New York city from the island. There was even a high school choir from Texas singing the national anthem. Their singing was fabulous.

After going back to the city we ate lunch at a French restaurant called Les Halles. I tried a steak and fries because Pati recommend I try one in New York. The steak was delicious, but the fries were a little bit greasy. We got ice cream for dessert. I had a Choco Taco.

After lunch we went to the 9/11 Memorial. There were thousands of people at the memorial. I thought the memorial was peaceful. The fountains were very pretty. We found Uncle Rob's cousin's name on the South Pool.

We returned to our hotel and watched TV and had a nice long rest. We also spent some time at the Club Lounge on the 21st floor. The lounge has free snacks and drinks. I ate some celery and carrots with ranch. There is a large balcony with couches and chairs. The views of the city were beautiful.

At dinner time we got some pizza at Saluggi's. It was pretty good, but I didn't really like how the pizza had parmesan cheese. I love parmesan but not on pizza. After dinner we walked though China Town. It was crowded and loud, but we got some ice cream from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. (Yep, ice cream twice in one day!) I got chocolate Oreo. It was really tasty.

Tomorrow is Magic Monday! I can't wait...
