Liberty Island

Not the warmest day today... brrrr, strange tho in New York the day is colder than the night? I swear the heat gets trapped in between these buildings and heats up the night! Today we took a ferry over to Liberty Island. The Statue of liberty is so impressive, I was here in 1986 but I didn't get to see her because she was under scaffolding, I learned today why. ( photo below )
After our tour of the island, and the pedestal of Liberty we ferried back to Battery Park. After 9/11 people aren't allowed to go to the top of the statue any more. We took a harbour cruise that went under the Manhattan bridge, and back past Liberty. We walked around the Seaport, had lunch, saw a few museums then headed back downtown. We stopped at Rockefeller center for a bit. Enough of me blabbing, the pictures are better!

in 1986, they changed the torch in Liberty's hand. This


was why she was under scaffolding, this is her old torch

this was part of the fountain between the twin


towers, they found it under the rubble. There is


an eternal flame by it now.








Wall street, is a very short street! But powerful.
