We decided to go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We took the subway down to the Staten Island ferry and walked over to the SOL and EI ferry. We hadn't eaten lunch yet so we shared a pretzel. I took this picture of the SOL while on the ferry (obviously). We knew that we couldn't go up inside the statue, so we decided not to get off the ferry.The ferry then went to Ellis Island and we did get off. We were hungry so we went into the cafe on the island and had a hamburger. We walked around for a little while and took a few pictures. Below is a picture of Rayma in front of a display. The other picture is of the Manhattan skyline as seen from Ellis Island.
When we returned to Manhatten we decided to go see Grand Central Station. Again, we got on the subway and walked through the terminal. We decided that we wanted Italian for dinner and we had not yet made it to our favorite bakery in Little Italy. So we went back to our room and rested and then made our way to Little Italy for dinner and an eclair.The subway system is pretty easy to get around and they aren't too expensive. We paid $25 each for a seven day pass. The only problem with the subway system is that they are under ground. Sometimes, way under ground. You are constantly going up and going down stairs. Hard on old people.
After our italian dinner we came back to our hotel and got a piece of cheesecake from Carnies Deli. They are not just known for their corned beef...
Those pictures look like they came out of a magazine or a movie. I am jealous!
