Finally our last
destination on this 17 days’vacation was “Statue of Liberty – The symbol of freedom and
opportunity in US.” Unfortunately, the rain was
coming steadily and showed no sign of letting up. Ben, walked up to the
security alone, was told that the part of the road was under water. It was impassable. This
was the only rainy day of our entire trip so far. Was it a warning for
the approaching of that monstrous storm Sandy? Or was it
my lack of researching for this last leg of our vacation? We didn’t even know
this iconic New York landmark has
been closed for much of the past year due to the renovation project for
improving visitors’ access and enhancing safety reasons. Sorry, Shinyee,
Jia-Her, Lichuan and Shyhwui. It wasn't
meant to end our vacation this way. We
left in pelting rain only to have a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty far away,
shrouded in thick clouds, as the uppermost of her crown slowly disappeared into
the low-hanging fog.
