Today was the first day
of the Freedom Tour. The places that stood out the most for me were the Statue
of Liberty and Times Square. We’re so used to seeing them everywhere; they’ve
pretty much been ingrained into what we think about when we think about New
York and America. It was definitely a very different experience seeing them in
person, from different angles besides the most photogenic and iconic ones. For
example, I can’t remember seeing very many pictures of Lady Liberty from the
back. It was also really interesting to see the famous Times Square digital
billboards. It was… odd, seeing advertisements everywhere you look, since they
don’t appear quite as frequently in Maine as they do here. I’ll also admit that
it’s really quite odd to be excited about seeing advertisements. I guess I’m
just not used to seeing commercials outside of TV, but still. Advertisements
shouldn’t be something you’re excited about seeing. On the other hand, though,
they’re really
cool!
