Ellis Island & Statue of Liberty

I arrived Sunday afternoon in New York for my daughters Tuesday graduation. Sunday I rested but Monday I did a lot of sight seeing. One of the first places we went to was the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.


This is a monument in Battery Park to commemorate the soldiers in the Korean War.

A couple of different photos of the Statue of Liberty.





I took a picture of the back of Liberty and noticed that the flame is in the shape of Aladdin's Lamp. Interesting.

New York is known for having taxis all over the streets, the waterways are not exempt.
