Yesterday I went to the city with my grandparents. We were going to Trinity Church In southern Manhattan. We were going to see the graves of Hercules Mulligan, Alexander Hamilton, Nathan Hale (If we had time) and other historical monuments. I was going to take a lot of pictures. The Church was amazing. It had old fashioned gates and enormous walls. We looked around for the graves. There were so many it took us a long time to find Hercules Mulligan’s grave, but we found it eventually. Then we went inside the church. It was beautiful! The outside and the inside was a work of art. And we also got pictures of almost everything we needed! Almost…
Before the site visit my mom had told me there was a monument for Nathan Hale a couple of blocks away from Trinity Church. So we went to city hall. We tried to find the statue, but it was closed to the public. We still got a few pictures of it. And across the street was a statue of Ben Franklin! On the way back to the Church we saw other buildings like the two world trade centers and the world financial center. We also saw one of the twin tower’s memorials. It was so amazing. There was a huge pit and water flowed from the sides. It was a long site visit and I got more than I expected. And now I finally can get back to finishing up my research and starting my TED talk.
