The Statue of Liberty


One of the most moving experiences of the trip was seeing the Statue of Liberty. Not that it's massive or gorgeous or unusual. It's just what it is, and it touches you. Security was exceptionally tight. Airport style, twice. But worth it. The views of the city are amazing from the 300 something steps up just the base. Inside is the original torch and a detailed museum of the building and restoration of the monument. I'm not typically a patriotic person, but there are no words to describe being there. Proud is close. Kinda.
