This is a replica settlement of what Plimoth life was like. It seems pretty hard

This is a replica settlement of what Plimoth life was like. It seems pretty hard.

Our pledge...

At the location of George Washington's inauguration, facing our country's financial center, the New York Stock Exchange, we stop foot traffic as we give a pledge of our own. - G

This is a surviving piece from 9/11. it was dug up from the wreckage left by the terrorists.
even though its looks like wreckage, it is still art. by miles

Dinner and a Show

An evening in New York, dinner and a new musical on Broadway, Spiderman! -G

Wall Street

Our trip leader, Steve, describes the history of the New Amsterdam settlement that eventually became our country's largest city. We learned about the wall that eventually became Wall Street. -G

Central Park (Henry)

The prettiest park I've ever been to. It is fun to climb the rocks, look at the runners, the horses, kids, or just the woods. I could live here.

One World Trade Center

As we near the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I wondered how our students would react to visiting Ground Zero. Most on our trip were only 4 years old on that tragic day. They seemed to be most interested in the future and snapp?ed many pictures of the construction of the One World Trade Center. -G

Central park, very nice and green. Very healthy to be walking around in the nice air.///. Ibrahim

The Famous Statue of Ben

-G

This building is called the one world trade center. It was once called the twin towers. It was hit on 9-11 in Osama Binladin terrorist attack. They are trying to get it done before 10th aniversery of the attack.

I'm a Toys R' Us Kid!

We all rode the ferris wheel at Toys R Us in Time Square last night! -G

Food Overload!

This dinner from last night is still taking its toll. And no, I didn't eat it all. Cheesecake was awesome! -G

Wall Street (Henry)

The place that ruined our country...  it is really cool to see all the huge banks and the big boys.  I could definitely see all the money.  There were security guards at every building preety much, and there were a lot of people. 

This pointy building in the middle that is pointy is the empire state buding, the tallest building in new york///. Ibrahim

Statue of Liberty (Henry)

This is just plain beautiful.  We saw the world famous statue of liberty and Ellis Island.
