We have been working hard, but Dad and I finally got a chance to see some sights over the Christmas weekend. We took the last ferry out to Liberty Island on Christmas Eve and listened to all the different languages being thrown out into the freezing wind over the Hudson River. I have to admit that I've never given the Statue of Liberty much thought beyond her stunning role in "Ghostbusters II."
However, I was incredibly moved at the sight of her, and the thought of how much it would have meant to catch a glimpse of that torch and that crown after crossing a seemingly endless ocean to reach the free American shores.
