After the Manhattan Trip

So after most of the class when back to Molloy, there were four students left - including me. There was also Julie, Felipe, and Travis, not to mention Mike, Damion, and Don. But i think that this when things got really fun.

when we all met up again at 2:45, we all kind of looked at each other and said "Well, what now?"

Mike suggested we go to the Sept 11 site. So we did. Julie and I went into the church right across the street. Oh man, that was unbelievably sad. You walk in and there is just this dead silence. It's a little spooky. And they had different things like letters kids wrote saying "THANK YOU" and the firemen's clothes that they wore that day. I almost started crying.

When we left, we just started walking until we reached a Peral. There, Mike decided to get some art supplies.

Throughout the day, we went to many galleries. At one I had a little...um...mishap. Julie and Felipe know what happened. LOL. Let's just say I'm never allowed to get too close to art again. LOL.

FINALLY we were able to eat. We ate at a Chinese resturant and it was pretty good. i really like the rice. That was really good.

Finally we got to the show. All day Mike was saying something like "I don't know if I'll go. Maybe I won't" and I thought he was kidding. Apparently he wasn't. He pre-bought everyone's ticket but his own. Finally he decided to come.

The play was werid but cool. It's hard to explain, since a lot of it was movement, but I would like to see, or be in, it again.

The Never Ending Manhattan Trip

"I'm in a New York state of mind" - Billy Joel, New York State of Mind

Yesterday was one of the best days I have ever had in Manhattan. And I have had some VERY good days.

Anyway, so the day stated by going into the Brooklyn Museum. That was an okay museum. I mean, the work was good, but it didn't knock me over. I don't know. It didn't move me.

Okay, this I liked. I really like this saying. To me, this is saying that if someone is angry, they seem more interesting. Which, in some cases, is true.























This is when we FINALLY got to the Brooklyn Bridge.



But first we had to take pictures with Manhattan in the background.







And then we started walking across it. Ugh.

















And the next post will contain other photos as well as a description of how the rest of the day went. :D
