A Cross Country Odyssey - 2003
Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty, New York City
Our first afternoon we visited Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Ellis Island has been converted into a comprehensive museum about the history of immigration to America. It was quite interesting to visit there and we spent several hours. Later we took the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty before returning to our trailer. The statue itself was closed to visitors and only the grounds outside were accessible.

 Beyond the Statue of Liberty can be seen the Manhatten skyline. |
 Off one point of the island (which is shaped like a star) we can see the ferry boats and the city of New York. |
