New-York City

-The Statue of Liberty-

So, the first thing we have visited in New-York was the famous statue of Liberty, also called Liberty Enlightening the World. We aren’t going to do a total description of it because you can just go on the internet but we’re going to tell you about the feelings we got when we went there ! First of all, the word huge is enough to tell about it’s size ! Indeed, it’s a colossal statue. Its meaning is really important, because it has been built to celebrate the centennial of the american declaration of independence and has became a symbol of freedom for the millions of european immigrants.We can understand why this statue means so much to the american. We can see a crown, a tablet where the independence’s date is written, and a torch.

So we took a big tourist boat that took us to Ellis Island and we had the chance to go around the island and we saw all the different parts of the statue. We discorvered a poem engraved on the pedestal of the statue by Emma Lazarus. Here's one picture we took to show you how close to the statue we've been. You should really go there if you have one day the chance to go to new york city because it’s more than beautiful !
