Day 3 : World Trade Center

Today we wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty. We had to take a ferry from Battery Park. We went to Castle Clinton at Battery Park, where the tickets to the Statue of Liberty are sold. But we were sad to find out that the ferries were canceled due to the heavy snowfall.

Here's me in the snow ! It was freezing ! My ears and nose hurt so much. The hat and gloves were absolutely essential. I wished I had worn boots as well, since I had to walk through deep snow.


As we were walking, we saw the twin towers of the World Trade Center. I always have a sad feeling when I see this photo. The twin towers were by destroyed by terrorists 9 months after we visited, on Sep 11 2001.


This was the queue of people waiting to take the elevator up to the top of the World Trade Center ! We waited for almost an hour.


Here's the view from the top of one of the towers. We can see the other tower in this photo.


We took a photo of the famous Empire state building from the top of the World Trade Center.


After visiting the World Trade Center, we still had time, and we decided to visit the Empire State building. Here's the top of the building. It is open air, and very very cold !


We took a photo of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, from the top of the Empire State building. Sadly, the twin towers do not exist anymore.


We took the subway back to the hotel. On the way from the subway station to our hotel, we passed by the New York Public Library. The stone lion was covered with snow !


In the evening, we walked to the Rockefeller Center. Here is a photo of the ice skating rink at the center. Too bad we both did not know how to skate.
