After eating Breakfast at the hotel we found that we could walk over to the Ferry for the Statue of Liberty. I was really excited to go and see this famous landmark and it did not disappoint. I was able to buy tickets to go inside up to the pedestal, I would have loved to have been able to get tickets to the crown but those were all sold out the week we were in New York. The ferry ride over was good and it was fun to see the Statue of Liberty at all angles. I was impressed with the workman ship and I loved being able to get a closer view. After the Statue of Liberty we got back on the ferry which took us over to Ellis Island. I was really looking forward to Ellis Island and being able to explore and get a feel for what the Immigrants went through in coming to America. There were some interesting things to see but it was pretty disappointing. Most of the Island was closed off to visitors and what I thought in my head as to what I was going to be able to experience did not really come to fruition. I did take a citizen test which I passed and that was fun and exciting. There was a small group of people huddled around watching me take the test and they cheered when I got the results that I passed, I was pretty happy that I did not fail which I thought would be the case. Kefford helped me on a few questions but I was able to do most of it on my own.
