The Statue of Liberty


Yesterday we turned in the RV.  We drove a total of 1773 miles.  Then we where driven into New York and are staying in a apartment. Today we went to go see the Statue of Liberty.
          

 We learned how she was made and given to America by the French and how the copper layer is 2 pennies thick.


After a hour wait we arrived on Ellis Island where immigrants came to start a new life in America. They had to go through medical, physical and mental tests to get to America.  Finally at the end we went to the Twin Towers Memorial.
           

 We saw the north pool and the south pool and payed our respects.  the pools walls where 30 feet deep and then went down a hole more than 30 feet deep . That was our first day in New York.
