Battery Park New York City

Entry containing 1 photo titled: Hola

On Friday, the coldest day EVER (well it was a cool -5 degrees), we decided to go check out the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

We got the subway to Lower Manhattan and found our way to Battery Park where the boats leave from.

I saw all these signs that said "No access to Ellis Island or the Statue of Liberty due to Hurricane …

Today's tours and trips brought ones of excitement and sorrow. We will visit Ellis Island and see where Dave's grandfather, and some of his family, entered the US and finally see Lady Liberty up close. We have tickets to see the 9/11 memorial and give our respects to those lost at Ground Zero on 9/11/01. We worked with the father of a young man, …

Today, we took the subway to South Ferry and caught the ferry from Battery Park to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island where we did audio tours. At the statue, we found a small cafe that sold 'Fish and Chips' which we thought sounded good. Turns out that in America, that means fish and a packet of crisps... disappointing! After that, the girls …

DOCH, ich war schon einmal in New York. Aber nach 2004 war es schön die Stadt mal wieder zu sehen. Die grösste Veränderung ist eigentlich, dass der Times Square jetzt eine Fussgänger Zone ist. ansonsten hat sich gar nicht so viel verändert. Das Fazit: Trotz ganz viel Regens hat wir eine super Zeit und New York ist …
