I got to catch up with my friends Michelle and Rachael in New York for a couple of days - Michelle was on the final leg of her ten week round the world trip. We enjoyed hanging out in one of the great world cities and managed to squeeze in a trip to Ellis Island where we retraced the steps that twelve million immigrants (including many Irish) took between 1892 and 1954. As a modern day immigrant it was a profound experience for me (though I am very thankful that I did not have to go through the same hardships in the process).
