Harbor cruise

Me and my travel pal on the harbor cruise.
The view of Manhattan.

The Manhattan bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge
Miss Liberty at sunset. Beautiful and breathtaking. I was surprised at how close to shore she was. Whenever the Statue of Liberty was talked about I always pictured her out in the harbor away from land - the first land sighting a ship would see but she's actually quite a ways into the harbor. I imagine John's grandparents standing on the deck of the ship that brought them to America and marveling at her. Gertrude told me her mother said everyone on board yelled and screamed with delight at the sight of Lady Liberty.
