Ferry to Liberty Island, NYC

Ellis Island still closed because of Hurricane Sandy. But we did know to visit the Statue after July 4 as it just reopened.

Temporary docks suffice and the general facilities are really not ready for the summer crowds here. It was so hot, no AC, little shade, BEAUTIFUL Statue, but we dubbed Liberty Island "trashyard island." Really it was upsetting to see this National Park Site overrun with trash, litter, dirty restrooms with no soap.
