Ellis Island
As we count down our departure date so do we check off the last of the tourist things we've wanted to do. Ellis Island has been up on the list for a long time and we finally got over there yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a ride on the river. Once over there we did a slightly more expedited viewing of the place. Some 12 million immigrants went through the doors here and over 100 million Americans today can trace ancestors who commuted through here. Amazing.
