Statue Of Freedom + Ellis Island

On Sat I was able to cross some other detail off my bucket list: climbing to the hand of the Statue of Liberty. When I was inwards college at that spot was this stair-stepper that would allow you lot gear upward your goal; things similar the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, etc. Of course of written report I became obsessed as well as I knew in ane lawsuit I hitting my finish on the machine, I wanted to produce it inwards existent life. So hither nosotros are! 

I had a blast. It was a gorgeous 24-hour interval but it was freeeeezing! I was certain to packet upward (you tin run into what I wore here) but existence on the water, you lot variety of simply had to bargain alongside it. Anyway, nosotros bought tickets to access the crown (you tin purchase yours here) which too gave us access to all of Liberty Island as well as Ellis island. If you lot go, I advise at the real minimum to larn tickets for the pedestal. Otherwise you lot exclusively larn access to walk to a greater extent than or less the island. I mean, if you're going to become ... GO!

Walking to a greater extent than or less was fun but I was eager to larn climbing! There are 393 steps from the bottom to the hand as well as the starting fourth dimension flights (from the Blue Planet to the pedestal) were normal, everyday stairs. The end 162 steps looked a piffling something similar this:

Andrew was to a greater extent than surprised than I was alongside how narrow as well as tight the steps were. I mean, you lot can't live over 6'3" to climb these steps without hitting your caput as well as I was asset on alongside both hands upward as well as down.

Being upward at the crown was a lot of fun. It was small-scale but it was gratifying! The views were awesome as well as it was then fun to run into what Lady Liberty sees everyday. It was too actually cool to banking concern stand upward for out the within of the statue as well as run into everything (like her confront -- 2 photos down).

After our fourth dimension on Liberty Island, nosotros went over to Ellis Island as well as soaked upward some history. It was fun as well as I'm glad I went, but it wasn't what I expected. H5N1 piffling underwhelming as well as I hateful it inwards the nicest way. Ellis Island was hitting difficult past times Sandy as well as because of that, all of the artifacts were gone. So the museum as well as the tour was simply a bunch of empty cases. They're waiting for the air as well as temperature to stabilize inwards the edifice earlier bringing them back.
