staten island ferry

since liska and i have never lived on the east coast we keep telling
ourselves we should take advantage of the new sights and experiences
this land has to offer.

so recently, on a cold sunny day we took a ferry into staten island.
from what we could tell there appears to be absolutely no reason to
visit staten island.  but boat rides that go past the statue of liberty are
pretty interesting and worth the free ride.  once we arrived we looked
on a map and saw a place called "Silver Lake Park" and figured that's
where we should go.

here are a few shots from the day...
