DAY 2! LIBERTY & DOWNTOWN!
This morning we took the subway to the very tip of Manhattan to BATTERY PARK. That is where we got the ferry boat that sailed to the STATUE OF LIBERTY! You can't believe how tall she is. And her "copper skin" is as thin as a penny. We got some great pictures with her. Then we went to ELLIS ISLAND, where 1 in 3 Americans can trace a family member arriving in this country. Back to Manhattan, we walked up Broadway and as WALL STREET & TRINITY CHURCH. Then we went to the 9/11 MEMORIAL. The beautiful waterfalls are a moving tribute to remember all those that lost their lives on 9/11.
We then went to CHINATOWN & LITTLE ITALY for some shopping. For dinner we went to the LOWER EAST SIDE to a wonderful Italian restaurant. We had REAL NY Pizza and Pasta. Ymmmmm.
Back to TIMES SQUARE for some fun after dinner. We have so much to do tomorrow, WE LOVE NY!
