Now this is the biggie. If you followed the map and read the directions,
you know they walked the yellow line down the Esplanade to get to the ferry
for the Statue of Liberty. Time passes and tickets were arranged, but the
orange LINE for ticket holders is excruciating. LONG. HOT. BORING. No one
in NYC goes on this trip because it takes soooooo long and then they stuff
you into the white holding tent to wait for the ferry. The tent holds as
much as a ferry. It's covered but there is no breeze. It's really awful.
But... because Nora is in the military and Ed is a state trooper in Texas,
they get to CUT THE LINE! This was so funny, because Nora was actually afraid
the people in line would tear them to pieces- after 2 tours in Iraq these
people in line were scary! Not only did they cut right to the white tent,
but also the ferry was waiting so they just went... right... on. :)
I think this was the end of the Mosely's travel gremlins. |

The original flame of the statue, it used to be clear glass lit from the inside. Now it's painted gold and lit from the outside.
