Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus
We had a great time touring New York, a walk through Central Park, a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dinner at Ellen's Stardust on Broadway, Shopping in Chinatown, Broadway Shows Mary Poppins and Wicked, a visit to Ellis Island, and a walk around the Statue of Liberty. Add to that a visit with an old friend from my childhood, and his family, who I've not seen in about 8 years - and it all adds up to a great time.
We walked, and walked, rode the subway, the bus, a train, and we walked some more. This was one of my best vacations ever! Thank you to my family, and to the people of New York and New Jersey, and to the French for their gift of the Statue of Liberty.
