Well, if it didn't snowed during the night, and is sleeting lightly when I looked out the window. The temperature can change 20 degrees from one day to the next. We ate a light breakfast and took the subway to Battery Park, to board the boat to see the Lady. There was a light dusting of snow thru Battery Park, about a couple of inches stuck all over, and we were amazed how the city looks partially 'white'. There was no line, but still took a little bit to get thru security. There were several groups of middle and high school students on field trips to the island. We rode Miss Liberty, and the statue looked beautiful, partly in cloud, and mist/rain. After a hot drink at the cafe, we went to Ellis Island. I could just imagine how the immigrants felt coming thru in the early 20th century. It was cold and rainy all day. We had a fabulous Taiwanese lunch at Bian Dang, which is at the food court right across the street from the hotel. Bian Dang, actually means lunch, in Chinese (便當). We ate it watching TV. Of course afterward, Kurtis did not want to go out, as it was still raining/sleeting/hailing/snowing. I made him get dressed and took the subway to see Columbia University. The rest of the evening was packing and eating left over food. I also found a great store, Jacks World @ 111 West 32nd Street between 6th & 7th Ave. Considering everything is so expensive in NYC, Jack's was GREAT !!!! Too bad Kurtis didn't see it, he wanted to take the subway all the way back, instead of walking a few blocks, I got off on Penn Station & 34th, while he took the Orange line back to the hotel. It is now thundering, and hailing and snowing.
