To day it
was time to follow the steps of the many immigrants who came to this land of
possibilities, and maybe follow the steps of our own ancestors. First we went
to the Statue of Liberty, which should be the golden gate to a new world, and the
welcoming figure who spread her arms and hugs the immigrants.
At the time we stood there, it was raining, but the Statue of Liberty were shining of all the American spirit that she symbolise. In the rain she was warm and steadfast, and at the same time you are amazed by the big city that surrounds you.
After having seen the Statue of Liberty, it was time to be checked in and become a part of America, therefore we took the ship to Ellis Island. When we arrived, we were counted and after woods send into the building, were we were to go through a lot of test and answer an even larger amount of questions. They were very sweet and welcoming, and after the check up they served us a lovely meal. A chesses burger with fries and a lot of ketchup, a real American meal with a lot of calories.

When we came out into the light again, we
saw that something was missing, the towers were gone, the chock was
overwhelming, and we stood still fore some time, until we decided to go and see
the place. It was an action that chanced the world for ever, many innocent
people were killed, and the sorrow became a rock in the heart of, I think, all
people in the world. The memorial was beautiful, and it are to symbolise the
sorrow, that is never going away, just like the water that never stops, and the lights that
just continues. It is a beautiful and at the same time a sad sight. The place
deserves great respect, and the whole world grieves.
That was
the day were we became Americans, and took a trip back in time to remember the
day were the world changed.
