The Statue Of Liberty was truly amazing, we couldn´t get on a boat so we saw it from quite a distance. She was pretty big, taller than you think actually.
Located on Liberty island she is 93 meters tall from top to the ground, the statue it self is 46 meters high while the platform she is standing on is 47 meters tall, she symbolize freedom and was a gift from the french people in 1886 to celebrate the 100 years of being indipendent.  
After we visited the Statue Of Liberty we headed out for lunch.
For lunch we had an big American burger.


After the lunch we took a cab to wall street, it was fun to see all the historic places for example the place where George Washington were standing when he became president. Today the building is Federal Hall National Memorial. We also saw the New York Stock Exhange building.


Our time in New York were coming to an end. We were going to continue our trip in the states by renting a car and heading out on the road and drive trough the states and get feeling for the roadlife.
Flying takes away so many things that you only can experience when you are traveling by car,
So we went to Hertz and rented a Corvette C6.
Our plan was to travel across the states to california following the famous road Route 66.
I dont know if you guys have seen the movie cars but since i saw it i always wanted to drive along the famous Route 66.
Anyway she was beutiful our car, like the stuff you dream about ;)
The Route 66 starts in Chicago and finnishes in Los angeles.
First of all we had a 11 and 53 minutes drive to Chicago were we would spend a day and then we would cary on and start driving on the Route 66.
Route 66 is 3939 kilometers long and travels trough 7 states.
