The Big City According to Everett

At the Statue of Liberty Aug 2013

So before we got to Africa we had to go to New York, the Big City. Day one out of three,  we went to the National September 11^th Memorial Site. Then we went to the Statue of Liberty, and we ran all those stairs and I really wanted to take the elevator.  When we got to the top, I couldn't even see over the wall.  It was not worth it at all, I ran all those stairs for nothing!  Those were two fun/ cool things on the same day.

Then we were walking for hours and hours, but it was worth it because when I walked past that corner I could not believe my eyes, there was lights, stores, big billboards, and shiny billboards.  They had it all, but then I saw it. It was called Shake Shack.  They sold the best hamburger I ever had, I used to hate hamburgers now I love them.

Day two out of three, we went to the same place, but we went to a different place.  It was the fanciest restaurant ever.  It was it was the best food I ever had for a long time.   After that, we went to Broadway and saw Annie it was a lot better than the movie.

Day three of three, we went to church.  Then we went biking to a park.  Then we played at it, then we went Shake Shack again.

New York it reminds me of America and we didn’t get to do it all. I’m going to miss America.
