There was no other way to describe it, except to say, the view was breathtaking. While it was no Everest, gazing across this timeless panorama still felt like being on top of the world. It was the sort of thing usually reserved for a postcard or a museum painting, but here and now, as we stood silently just taking it all in, everything seemed so much larger than life.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States in 1886. As we stood high in Lady Liberty's torch, there was not only a sense of awe and wonder from the majestic view, but also a feeling of touching history. This place that had come to mean so much to so many, now meant something to us as well. Yes we were just a hockey team playing tourist, but Liberty made her indelible mark on us too, by creating a moment you revel in and never forget!
