on our third day in nyc, we planned to visit the statue of liberty and ellis island. fortunately the line-up onto the ferry was pretty quick, but even with a reserved ticket, we still had to wait a really long time to get into the pedestal and museum on liberty island, but i think it was still worth it.
the original torch. actual size of the statue’s face.
it was a beautiful day with great views of the nyc skyline.
statue of liberty snowglobes.
from liberty island, we took the ferry to ellis island, where the immigration museum was originally the building that processed millions of immigrants in the first half of the 1900′s.
by the time we took the ferry back to manhattan, it was already in the middle of the afternoon. we walked through the financial district, visiting ground zero, the new york stock exchange and wall street. really tall buildings.
with a bit of time left before dinner, we went to check out chelsea market, which is where the food network is located. we saw michael symon (newest iron chef) outside the building, had some hazelnut icecream, and saw a 5kg jar of nutella.
for dinner, we met up with dan, an old friend from vancouver we hadn’t seen for many years.

wish we were there.
