Statue of Liberty


The Crown!!!

I heard today that visitors are being allowed up in the crown of The Statue of Liberty for the first time since the attacks on 9/11. The reason I'm so excited is that way, way back in 1965, my sister and I took the 346 steps up the 250 feet to the crown. Our view was cut short by a booming voice over the loudspeakers telling us to meet our parents at the bottom!!! On the news, they said only 30 people at a time can go up, so they hold a lottery. FYI - the statue came in 350 pieces, in 214 crates and took four months to put together.
