Good Bye New York

Good Bye New York

The last of our New York experiences before we headed off to Toronto Canada and the Niagra Falls

Ground Zero

My "Meeting" with the President

Here comes the President. Watch carefully

Nearly Here

Don't Blink here he comes

Here he is - don't blink

Too late - You blinked- he's gone

Liberty

Ronnie and I at the original docks were migrants were landed. Their first footfalls on mainland USA 

The Statue of Liberty behind us

From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

And through the Golden Door they passed, through to the trains to a new place, a new hope and a new beginning.

The signpost noting the destinations still remain
