We bought subway metro cards the next day and thats mostly how we got around. Headed to the Statue of Liberty.
You can see the Statue of Liberty to the left of my ear. This is right across the street from battery park.
Sitting on the top deck of the boat.
Riding on the Statue cruise over to the Statue of Liberty.
We had an audio tour and it was great. It told us a lot about the building and planning of how the Statue of Liberty was constructed. It was spiritual and made me love our country even more.
Looking at the city from the Statue of Liberty.
She is truly beautiful and what a sight as ships came through to America for the first time.
This is the cruise we road from Manhattan to the Statue and over to Ellis island.
Ellis island. This is where everyone who came over to America checked in. It was a beautiful building. Everything in NY was built so long ago that there was a lot of construction on the buildings while we were there.
This is where they came up the stairs, were checked in, and were asked many questions. If you were a women and didn't have a husband already here working they would send you back on the ship you came on. They also made sure you were not ill.
We had an audio tour here as well. This is what some of the luggage might have looked like when they came through.
Then we headed to tkts to buy discounted broadway show tickets to Phantom of the Opera for the Saturday matinee.
The Brooklyn Bridge.
We had heard from some friends to eat at this place called Grimaldi's near the Brooklyn Bridge.
We ordered a calzone but wished we would have gotten regular pizza. It still was fresh Italian ingredients.
Then we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Only pedestrians and bicycles are allowed on it. It took 13 years to build.
Some pictures of Time Square.
People were everywhere. Craziness!
