The first time I went to this place — 8 months ago
i was surprised to see how big she was. the ferry lines were soooo long but there was plenty of street performers to entertain. the weather was nice. we also went to ellis island but opted to skip it because we had an itinerary to keep which didnt account for such a long wait to see lady liberty. the security was pretty darn tight to see the statue of liberty but unfortunately necessary since 9/11. it was a nice afternoon.
