Ellis Island / Statue of Liberty Trip


Yesterday, I was very excited to join the Project A.I.M. activity, Ellis Island / Statue of Liberty Trip. Although the weather was a little haze and the temperature was low, I still had a good time with my friends. We took a tourist coach to ferry service station, which is near Wall Street. Our first station is to visit Statue of Liberty. On the ferry, you can clearly see whole Statue of Liberty, the spirit of America. Under the most important huge, grand sculpture, I was shocked and understand why Americans treasure it so much. However, we did not make an appointment to go to the top of Statue of Liberty, we only went around the island and took some pictures. Our next station is Ellis Island. There is a museum on the island, where you could see many histories and video about immigration. I learned much from many interesting introduction. After this culture trip, I understood the importance of Statue of Liberty in American Culture.
