Lady Liberty & ballet

Det her bliver lige et billed-tungt indlæg.... Så er I advaret! I går var jeg på besøg hos Frihedsgudinden. Startede med den smukke tur ind langs Hudson River med dette kig til det nye tårn ved World Trade Center. Smukt!

This blog post will have a lot of pictures..... Don't say I didn't warn you! Yesterday I went to visit the Statue of Liberty. The trip began with this beautiful walk along the Hudson River with this view of the new tower at World Trade Center. Beautiful!

Denne gang havde jeg billet til kronen, men startede selvfølgelig med museet og basen. Museet var hurtigt overstået (da jeg var der sidst, læste jeg ALT!) men jeg fik da lige dette billede af mig og ladyen..... (Weeping angel?)
Vi var 2, der var gode til at stirre!

This time I had a ticket for the crown, but of course I started with the museum and the base. The museum was quickly done (last time I was there, I read EVERYTHING!) but I did get this picture of me and the lady...... (Weeping angel?)
We were good at staring, both of us!

Vi sejlede derud, hvilket er en fin lille tur. Både på båden og ude på øen kan man virkelig nyde udsigten til New Yorks skyline! Det er virkelig flot.

You take a boat there, which is a nice little trip. On the boat and on the island you can really enjoy the view of the New York skyline. Amazing!

Trehundredesyvoghalvtreds trin oppe så der sådan her ud. Der var en rigtig god udsigt! Hun står jo og kigger væk fra byen, så deroppe var det ikke den der skyline man kunne se.....

Threehundredfiftyseven steps above the ground things looked like this. The view was great! She is standing there, looking away from the city, so this time it wasn't the skyline as a view......

Her er kigget op til hendes højre arm med faklen. Man har vist nok engang kunnet komme op i faklen, men det må VIRKELIG have været en snæver tur!

Here is her right arm with the torch. At some point it has been possible to go all the way into the torch, but must have been a very narrow trip!

Her ser i indersiden af hendes hovede. Og frisuren, der altid sidder perfekt.

This is the inside of her head. And the hair-do which is always perfect!

Sådan ser trappen ud der går op til kronen. Det er faktisk en dobbelt-trappe. En, der går op, og en, der går ned. Der er ikke meget plads, og der er kun én vej. Opad. Man kan ikke altid se så meget pga. varierende belysning. Men når det så er sagt, så tog det ikke lang tid at gå derop.
I dag har jeg til gengæld virkelig ondt i benene!

This is what the staircase for the crown looks like. It is actually a double staircase. One going up and one going down. It was very narrow, and there was just one way. Up. The lighting is not very good all the way. But with all this said, it didn't really take long to get there.
Today my legs really hurt!

I aftes havde Dorina inviteret mig til ballet i Lincoln center. Det var San Francisco Ballet Company der opførte "Cinderella". Det var så fantastisk!
Opsætningen var helt utrolig og historien meget, meget sjov. Disney kan faktisk gå hjem og skamme sig...... Det var en utroligt stor oplevelse!
Nå ja, og så var der simpelthen så mange mennesker, der så helt utroligt rige ud. Det var de også..... Vildt!

Last night Dorina invited me for a ballet in Lincoln center. The San Francisco Ballet Company performed "Cinderella". It was so fantastic!
The costumes and the choreography was amazing the story was so funny. Actually, the Disney version is nothing compared to this. It was an amazing evening!
Oh well - and then there were so many people looking so extremely rich. Which they were.....
