NEW YORK CITY


Below are pictures of the Statue of Liberty. I was disappointed that we couldn't go inside, but
the "renovations" weren't complete yet. It was still an interesting stop - being next to something
like that is a very humbling experience. This whole tour took about 4 hours to my best recollection.

[ CENTRAL PARK ]   [ EMPIRE STATE ]   [ HOTEL CHELSEA ]


Battery Park

This is one of the ports to Miss Liberty.
Also, another pic of Amanda.


First Miss Liberty pic. Gives
some perspective of the distance.

A look at the skyline towards downtown.





I'm not really sure what those structures
are on the skyline. I asked around, but
as luck would have it - everyone else
was a tourist. Go figure eh? :)


I thought the clouds made interesting
patterns. Plus another perspective on
the distance we were going to "sail".

I liked the clock tower. It made me
think of Big Ben in London. I was
bored, since we waiting for the
ferry to leave for about a 20 min.
Of course this was after waiting in
line to get on the ferry for 20 min
as well!


A tugboat and a barge!
Aren't they cute?

Takes about 15-20 min to
make the journey. Are we
there yet??


The ferry actually circles
around Liberty Island. Ain't
she a beaut?

The ferry docks on the rear
side of the island. Still a
lil ways to go.

Another skyline pic.

I didn't notice the
pollution while there
in the city, but just
when I made this page.


Just now making our way
around to the dock.


You can see just the
edge of the port.


Pigeons hang out around
the eating area of the
Liberty Island gift shop
and restaraunt.


More pigeons

A shot of the ferry I was
sailing on. Of course, you
might notice the huge ass
pigeon blocking the view.


Ah, there we go!
Miss Freedom awaits!
Aarrgggghhh


This pic was taken from
the ground. There is a path
that goes around the island.



Ellis Island. I didn't
disembark here, since I
would have been there
another 3 hours!


Ellis Island

Work called me after I
took this picture.


More Ellis Island.

Ellis Island.

Vain attempt at a panorama of
the New York City skyline.
