Water Surfing

Hello again!
We have it good here in Miami so far, we have also very good weather. The sun was shining today but it was also little windy. But it was perfect. Malin and I tried someting new today. We water surfing.
We starting from de hotel and then we walk to the beach, it took only five minutes. When we were arrived at the beach, we saw the surfingboards at a little shop. It was like a tent. We asking the salesman if we could by some surfingborads. He answer that you not buying you renting the surfingboard in the day. You most return it back before six pm. And it costs 30.87 dollar, (200 swedish crowns.) We borrowed two surfingboards and we walk out in to the water. We started at once but it was very difficult, the waves was high and we were afraid that a shark would eat us. We surfing about two hours than we take a break for lunch.
To lunch we walk to McDoland`s at road Wasington Ave. Very close to out hotel. From the beach it took ten minutes. There were a lot of cars so we had to go slowly.
After the lunch break we get back to the beach again. And we surfing two hours more. There was a man who showed us how we could do, and then it went better. Thank you man.

The man who helped us, he was really good!

In New York

Hello!
Today we were out and looked at the Statue of Liberty. We took a taxi to Liberty Island from the hotel. We went out into the street and waved at a taxi, stopped and he asked where we wanted to go. We said we were going to Liberty Island. We jumped in to the car and then he started to drive. It would take 15 minutes to go and it is 5.49 miles to the place. When we arrived so I asked what it would cost and the driver said it cost $18.30, so I paid and then we went out and photographed the statue. 
(Pictures take from https://maps.google.se/) 
The Statue of Liberty is one of New York's and America's characteristics and millions of tourists visit it.
The Statue of Liberty was inaugurated October 28 1886, and was a gift to the U.S. from "the French people", as a symbol to commemorate the centenary of American independence. Through the years, the statue also come to symbolize freedom and democracy.
The statue was designed by sculptor Frederic Bartholdi and is made of copper sheet over an iron frame. The body was designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, he designed the Eiffel Tower.
The statue measures 46 meters and is located on a 47 meter high pedestal of hewn stone. From the ground to the torch becomes the more than 93 meters. The nose is 146 centimeters long. In June 1885 the statue arrived to New York in 350 parts, packed away in boxes 214 and it took four months to assemble the statue.

We eat lunch at Angelo's pizza and then we went to 57th St, and shop at Victoria's Secret, 34 E. 57th St, and traded underwear, makeup, perfumes and clothing. After we had shop at Victoria's Secret so we went to Burberry's, 9 E. 57th St, and checked the handbags, but we found no that were in our taste, so we went on to Prada, 45 E. 57th St, and I found a nice bag. But not Matilda, she found a bag on Chanel, 15 E. 57th St. Which was also nice.
We wanted to buy Uggs from Australia, they're genuine Uggs. So we looked up on the phone where we could find the store and then store lay in the corner of 58th St, and with Madison Ave. We went and bought a pair of tan and a pair of dark brown. When we thought we had dealt mostly we would in New York so we went back to the hotel.

At The Ritz Carlton Hotel - New York

Hello, 
Now we are sitting in the hotel room and we doing nothing. We landed here in New York for two days ago and we have not doing so much yesterday and today. We were very tired after the flight, so yesterday we have sleeping a lot, watching tv, and planned our shopping also. The shopping begins tomorrow for us. We are so happy to be here. It is so cool!
Today we woke up at the hotel here in New York. We had really good weather today. It was little sunny and about eleven degrees. So we dressed up us with workout clothes and we took a run. We are living so close to Central Park! We just cross the street and then we are there. We runnig about five miles I think.. It was really funny to se so much peoples running. We were shocked!
Yes, and at the evening we ate in a food hall, the Plaza only five minutes far our hotel. It was much peoples there.. Many tourists.. But the food was really good, and this is the most importent thing I think. We took a hamburger with chips, mmm it was so good, I can recomed it for everybody really! We are also drinking Pepsi. We can not have it better than so far. 
But now are we going to sleep. We most have energy for tomorrow!
