On the Staten Island Ferry

(Above: Luke and James on the Staten Island Ferry regarding Madam Liberty)

We took a ride one of the first few weeks we were back home and staying in Battery Park City. If ever you are down on this side of town never go for the touristy rides if you want to see the Statue or the skyline, the NYC secret is to take a ride for free on the Staten Island ferry! As I looked at her, for the first time I understood for a moment how so many must have appreciated that statue standing out there, I even felt as if she were welcoming us back home.
