Today was our last day in New York. We went to Ellis Island, The Tenement Museum, Chinatown, and little Italy. In the Tenement museum we got to act like we were immigrants and talk with someone who acted as if they were immigrant who had lived there for a long period. She gave us advice on what to do now that we were America. At Ellis Island we got to see what immigrants had to do to get into New York. In Chinatown and little Italy we walked around and got to eat and shop in different places then usually.

On the 2nd day of the Freedom Tour, we went to Chinatown, Little Italy, Ellis Island, Battery Park, Wall Street, Ground Zero, The Top of The Rock, and the Tenement Museum. We had the best pizza we've ever had in Little Italy. On Ellis Island, we got to ride the escalators numerous times. On the Top of The Rock we got the best view of New York City and some of us saw a man propose to his current fiancé and Leah took the pictures of them.
