Day 3 - Stopover at Ellis Island

On the way to the Statue of Liberty,the ferry took a brief detour and stopped at the Ellis Island. This was the original port of entry to the US and one needed a visa etc,just as one would at an international airport these days!

I didn't get off the ferry to see this island, as the stopover was very short and we were running short on time. But there was not much to see here, and Vali's recommendation was also that it was a drab place.Seemed like I would not miss anything if I didn't see it.Almost like one of those islands off the Cochin coast,so to speak!!!!

The ferry then did an about turn and went straight toward the most televised structure from this belt of the world - the Statue of Liberty.My heart was racing,but well, had gotten used to this excitement over the last 3 days.
