Screaming Freedom

Times square is exactly what you see in movies... Awesome! And 24 hours day it is buzzing with life! Lots of lights billboards and people!

All the Major stores are in Times Square. A Lot of Wanna-be artists are performing all around. But just the idea of being in Times Square in New York City is what got me.

Spent the day walking around, visited the Hershey's store and yes i bought the worlds biggest Hershey's chocolate bar.

Every Tourist has to visit the Statue of Liberty. So we took Miss Liberty (our ferry) to Ellis Island and then to Liberty Island. The entire trip was spent telling us about how America is the epitome of Freedom and that is what the country is founded on. Great!

But I must admit that Miss Liberty (the statue) is quite something. From ground to torch is 93 some odd meters and weight 225 tons. She is quite a sight. Unfortunately we couldn't up, bookings have to be done 2 months prior for security purposes. and that is another thing. Anywhere you go you have to pass through a rigid security check. Paranoid much?


From the Island there is a beautiful view of Manhattan... The pictures say it all.

Close to the port where you get the ferry is the financial disctirct. IN which the UN presides. Unfortunately no access to the UN as Genial Assembly was busy at work. But we did get to see the famous bull... Ever heard of the saying a Bull or Bare market... its after this famous guy....

 Then is was off to the famous 5th Avenue where all the big boys do there shopping. The infamous Trump Towers are also on 5th Venue with Armani, D&G, Gucci, and the most beautiful and most expensive jewelry....
