Isn't She Lovely





Isn't she lovely? Lady Liberty that is.  Glen and I got up early and were on the first boat to the Statue of Liberty and then Ellis Island.  It was a beautiful visit there, perfect weather for a boat ride.  From there we stopped at Canal Street to buy some purses. I heard that you need to go into the back room to find the good stuff.  Started following a girl to a shop a few streets away and then into the back room.  Thank goodness Glen was with me.  It was a little freaky as she locked us in this room.  She really was not happy when I didn't like anything that she had.  Then we had to wait til it was all clear to come out.  Found another back room that felt safer and bought a few purses for the girls.  Canal street was an experience for us.  After Canal we went to Greenwich village for brunch, then back down to Spring Street (Little Italy) to find this rice pudding store.  
During the evening we went to see Young Frankenstein,  not something we would recommend, just wasn't very good.  Time Square was crazy as ever.  It was a fun full day.

It is so awesome how you are making the most of your time in the city. So proud you went in back rooms for purses...can't wait to hear more about it...I have been to Canal street but have never visited the back rooms. Good job!
