Our guide Joseph K. was remarakable. He had an encyclopedic memory for historical facts relative to the Statue of Liberty' creation/history and Ellis Island facts. My first viit to the statue, heartwarming. I thought the tour included being up in the pedestal of the statue but just saw from sidewalk. The weather was downpouring rain but Headout can't control the weather! Would have been nice ot have been reminded that we could access digital files to search for ancestors...I missed that...too preoccupied with making sure I didn't miss ferry back.
