A part of me envies you living in such a vibrant city, full of history and history in the making. Thank you for that view of the Statue of Liberty. My father entered the US through that harbor and Ellis Island and he had told us several times of the excitement of seeing the Statue of Liberty at last, after a long and difficult ocean crossing. And then the fear of being rejected for entrance to the US after all they'd been through. He just died on Mother's Day at the age of 88 and he loved America and all that being here enabled him to do. Thank you, again, for a fabulous tour of Battery Park and the wonderful tidbits of info you shared.Judi A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09618310997994024137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-87777494800857888272008-06-19T00:51:00.000-04:002008-06-19T00:51:00.000-04:00That was a fun trip Pat, thanks!

To tell you the truth, I didn't really know where Newark was in relationship to NYC. I looked out the window of the terminal and thought, "wow, that is a big city over there"! Then I saw the Statue of Liberty in the harbor.
