On a stinking hot day Shelley and I decided to be tourists and see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
After a two hour wait in line, yes two hours (thankfully we got quite a decent tan out of it!) we head across the harbour to the two islands. It was great to visit, especially to read about the history about the first ships of immigrants to America and all the things they had to endure, but it was completely overrun with hundreds of tourists which did get to me at some points.
A quick look out a window to the spectacular view of Manhattan gets rid of any frustration though.
All in all though its one of those sites you MUST visit when coming here, even more so if you have members in your family tree that immigrated to America at any point in history.
