... ), it was just a short trip to Liberty Island. The view of Manhattan was pretty spectacular, and although impressive the Statue of Liberty doesn't actually look as big as they make it look on TV. Though it is just as green and still pretty amazing. So ...

La giornata è uggiosa, ma ciononostante decidiamo di visitare Liberty Island (la nostra settimana si sta per esaurire e non possiamo certo permetterci di attendere il sole....in inverno tra l'altro). Prendiamo la metropolitana e dopo circa 40 minuti ...
