Lady Liberty: A View from Below
This upward-view photo of the Statue of Liberty was taken from below the pedastal on twelve-acre Liberty Island. Ferries to Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island are available from Lower Manhattan and New Jersey on Statue Cruises. Both islands include visitor centers, tours and exhibits, and gift and concession shops. On July 4, 2009, Lady Liberty’s crown will open to the public for the first time since September 11, 2001.

As your driving north in Vermont, there are quite a few wineries and cheese shops too. Vermont is known for its cheddar.
