We started our day with a trip to the Statue of Liberty. In spite of earlier predictions of rain, the day was beautiful.
We climbed to the top of the pedestal, which gives you a pretty close-up view of the bottom of the statue.
Next was Ellis Island. The building is full of history.
I particularly like the preserved graffiti.
I also liked the room that had displays of treasured items that people brought with them when they immigrated.
Then we did a tour of lower Manhattan. We started at Bowling Green, a park from Revolutionary times the iron fence is original. I touched it.
Our tour took us past Trinity Church, with its super old graveyard. Alexander Hamilton is buried there.
We saw many other sites, including the 911 memorials.
We ended our tour by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, then taking a subway back.
Someone had put these stickers all over the bridge:
After dinner, we went to see “Wicked”. It was great.
We got back earlier than Wednesday night, but I couldn’t sleep for some reason. I’ll be glad to be back in my own bed tonight.
That sky! What a treat for your last full day!
Thank you for the view of the Statue of Liberty from the bottom. We don’t often get to see famous art from a different perspective. I love it!
I’m praying that your return trip is peaceful and uneventful, and that you sleep WELL when you get home.
This trip is amazing! Would like to be less vintage to experience it. However you did a good job “taking me along”.
