WHEW!  It's been pretty hectic since being back home especially in the midst of the holidays.  I finally have some time to add more pictures.  These were taken on our second day in New York.  Such fond memories for me and the Fab Five!  One thing is for sure....it's a lot warmer in Hawaii than in New York.  I don't need my blue beanie and scarf anymore....


On the subway on our way to Battery Park to catch the ferry to Statue of Liberty.

One of the many ferries making a round trip to Staten Island.  This looks like the one we are on.

Keoki and the Fab Five with Lady Libery.



“The Statue of Liberty conveys its message of freedom through a number of dramatic symbols.  The broken shackles at her feet signify escape from tyranny.  In her left arm she holds a tablet of law inscribed in Roman numerals the date of American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.  Her crown’s seven rays suggest the seven seas and seven continents.  Most significant of all, however, her torch and flame symbolize truth and justice enlightening the world.”



Isn't she beautiful at 125 years old?  And, check out that clear blue sky! 

You don't see too many pictures of Lady Liberty's backside, but it is just as stunning.
