The idea of WITWW is to post a picture of you in someplace in the world...it doesn't have to be somewhere foreign or tropical. Just a picture of you somewhere that you consider traveling.
this week i went with one of my favorite historical places. ellis island. for the immigration historian in me this place is my favorite. i've talked about my love of ellis island before. and a few weeks ago i had the statue of annie moore in cobh where there is one of her at ellis too. and i've been here a few times. my first was for the 5th grade class trip, but most recently was summer of 2006 when i spent 3 days researching at ellis island for my undergrad thesis. i was up in the library listening to oral history recordings of irish immigrants and it was just incredible. so i took a few pictures when i was there of ellis island and its neighbor the state of liberty on bedloe's island.
