STATUE OF LIBERTY -NYC



We arrive at the Statue of Liberty Island to rush off after taking close to a whole memory stick of photos on the ferry. We jump off the ferry to wander around the Island to avoid the traffic.

Wandering around the Island we stop at a stop to catch the beautiful atmosphere of Manhattan. Several photos and deep breath's were taken to register all of this.

I think about 7 or 8 people asked me to take a photo of them standing on the edge with the Manhattan view in the background. Of course I asked them in return to take my photo and hence they screwed it up. You can't depend on total strangers for good photos for crying out loud. They should all be shot. Inconsiderate jerks.

After finishing up with our photo session here, it was time to move to the statue. The minute I arrive up close and personal I go totally insane taking photos of the Statue of Liberty. Well I suppose you have to dont you? This is New York! When someone yells New York at you, the first thing you think of is Statue of Liberty.

Once again I ask several people to take photos and of course what do they do? They take a photo without the statue in the background. Who fucken wants a photo of themselves with a brick background. The purpose of being here is to get my photo taken with the Statue of Liberty. What type of an inconsiderate person doesn't include the Statue in the background? Obviously the American guy taking our picture.

To make matters worse some photographer approaches me and asks if I want my photo taken with the Statue of Liberty. Of course its going to cost me some good money. By this time I'm tempted to shove his camera up his ass. I have my own camera mate. I'll take my own photos.

After the photo session, its a decision to climb up the statue or not. The problem - today is actually quite hot in New York. With the heat already killing me, one decides to give it a miss. What the hell am I going to get out of climbing the statue?

The time came to farewell the Statue of Liberty Island, with the next stop being Ellis Island. On the ferry we decide to fuck the Ellis Island off as there wasn't anything there to see. Besides with the heat frying my brain the last thing I need to see is a list of ancient people and their families.

The ferry pulls into the dock and we race off the ferry back into the park - only to get a bloody photo of the eagle statue. What the fuck this statue is representing is beyond me! More importantly why we needed it, is beyond me!

Wandering through the park we stop at EVERY stall to check out the paintings of New York. With me wanting to buy every single one of them, we only tend to tease the seller before we race off to the subway.
