Today was a good start to an already fun trip. The bus trip
at the beginning seemed like it would last for a lifetime, but it didn't last
that long. It took about 9 hours to get to New York, and about an hour to get
to the city. There were so many people! It was like 3 or more Brunswick's
combined! Some of the things surprised me, like the amount of people in Harlem
that were not white. The culture was so extremely different from Brunswick.
Marybeth was saying that walking outside and stepping on grass was rare,
unlike in Brunswick. After driving through Central Park and Harlem, we went on
a ferry ride on the Hudson River. We saw Lady Liberty and Ellis Island. From the
ferry we saw the Brooklyn Bridge. After the ride we went to Katz's Deli and
the food there was amazing. There were so many celebrities on the wall. It was
so crazy. After Katz's Deli we went to New Jersey to the hotel. Today took a
lot of self control because we were sitting for most of it.
