Day 17 - New York City Day 4

Statue of Liberty Day - hurray

Wow it was fantastic. G&T went to the pedestal level but Stephen and I climbed to the crown (thanks Janice for telling us to buy our Crown tickets on line months ago as Crown tickets were sold out on the day).

Never knew the Statue of Liberty was made out of copper and hollow inside. It is green because of the chemical reaction which happens when the air hits it. The Crown was a spiral staircase very narrow with 383 stairs (no lift). Well worth the climb.🤗

Ellis Island was not very interesting for us but if your family immigrated to America you would be able to read and research lots of interesting facts.

Next 9/11 memorial. Very busy around this area paid our respects. We chose not to go to the museum no sure I wanted to see what we all saw and heard on TV again.

Wall Street next.

On to Bloomingdales - very expensive and a look around Tiffanys. Unfortunately I didn't have enough money to even buy 1 earing in sterling silver let alone anything else.

Chinese for dinner in those little boxes you see on TV.

Tonight Stephen, Tony and I went on a long walk by the river. Gail was resting her poor feet.

The walk was on the river and as we discovered later went almost the whole of Manhattan Island. Of course we did not walk the whole island only a short part.Read more
