Question

1 Believe it or not, we had to wake up at 4 A.M. to catch the bus to catch the train to catch the ferry! But the Statue of Liberty was totally worth it. It was awesome. We saw people sailing around it in fancy yachts. I kept thinking of the people who looked at this same statue from overcrowded ships.
2 I found our trip to the Statue of Liberty really fascinating and also surprisingly emotional. It was a long and draining trip. Any amount of travel was worth seeing this awe-inspiring sight, though I was reminded of the waves of immigrants who sailed past her on their way to Ellis Island.
