Statue of Liberty
On
August 14th Emily and Megan rolled out of bed early, to start a 3 ½ hour
journey from Dover DE to New York Harbor in hopes to meet Lady Liberty.
Upon arrival, at Liberty
State Park, New Jersey
we had a short hike to the ferry station where our second voyage would
begin. A few pigeons provided entertainment on this hot sunny day while
we patiently waited for the ferry to dock. Following a brief intermission
at Ellis Island we were soon underway to Liberty Island home to Lady
Liberty.
WOW
what sight!
Lady Liberty stands as tall as a 22-story building (151 feet) her pedestal
was designed by Richard Morris Hunt, this 89 foot-high pedestal sits upon
a concrete foundation that appears to grow up from within the 11-pointed,
star-shaped walls of the existing Fort Wood.
