Took ferry to Statue of Liberty and climbed the 375 steps to the crown, then took the ferry to Ellis Island and learnt how it was for the immigrants when they arrived in NYC. It was really interesting and the audio tour with some of the immigrnts, now elderly, reflecting on their memories of when they arrived as young children, and their stories of how they and/or their parents and family were treated or family left behind in homelands, were very moving. We took the ferry back to Battery Park and sat and had a late lunch while enjoying the cherry trees in blossom. We walked up to Wall Street, took our pictures with the iconic "Bull"...hoping the share market would return to it's "bullish" days and took the subway back to 59th Street - walked back to the fabulous Plaza Hotel.
