This is from last year, but I couldn’t resist re-posting it. There were arrows on signs nearby — you can see one on the left, taped to a buttress — that said, “Ashes this way.” Coffee and doughnuts, too.
Spent yesterday out at Ellis Island. Friends were in from out of town and wanted to go, and I realized I hadn’t been there in ages. Glorious day for a ferry ride. Same ferry goes to the Statue of Liberty. We admired her but didn’t get off. We were on a mission.
