New York City 2008 Staten Island Ferry




Saturday morning we bought a day pass on the subway and headed to South Ferry. it was a beautiful day and our timing was perfect. It is hard not to feel something when you pass by the Statue of Liberty in the New York harbor. It was pretty windy on the water and after a little while I was the only one left from our group standing in the wind as the boat worked its way back to New York.

I was happy to share this experience with 2 students from China that were a part of our group. We take liberty for granted and I think this is still one of the great symbols of freedom in the world.

I don't know how they felt, but they did take a lot of pictures. It is a long way from Bethany Lutheran College but the Statue of Liberty affects all of us.
