People taking pictures of other people at the Statue of Liberty:








When Laura visited, we took the ferry to Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty on a rainy day in September. We couldn't buy tickets to go into the statue and climb to the top because those were sold out the day I purchased ours--about a week earlier. But we did opt for the audio tour headsets. I prefer this type of touring when I am alone, but it kept me from commenting with Laura along the way. Even so we came away with a better understanding of what people went through to get to America, and it was humbling.
