this piece of art is very interesting because it must take of lot of skill to get the ribbons of color into the glass

Gettysburg (Henry)

First of all, the Ammosh town was amazing.  It actually freaked me out.  Then, we drove to Gettysburg, the most beautiful city in the country.  The buildings were full of history, and architectually significant.  We had to listen to ghost stories that were pretty stupid, but learning the history was amazing. 

Haunted Tour of Gettysburg

Here's the haunted Farnsworth House in Gettysburg. We had a tour of history wrapped in with the paranormal. Some of our group are believers while a few skeptics cross examined every piece of evidence or tool (dowel rods). -G

the tour that we just went on was pretty darn scary. When i used the rods, i asked a lot of questions that the ghost answered quickly. The scariest part was when i asked if he was a confederate and he said yes, followed by a no to being in the union. The nice part, yet still creepy, was when i asked if he was my friend...he said yes./// Ibrahim
Just went on the haunted tour. Probably the scariest tour that I have ever been on and my favorite part of the ECT so far.

This is the farnsworth house. It is haunted and it is the only house that still has bullets in it. They are a bit hard to see.

Amish Country

This is an Amish horse drawn buggy. The Amish would usually use these to travel anywhere. These buggies with horses cost around $8,000.

This is an omish family.

This building is an example of neoclassical architecture. It is based on ancient Greek and Roman architecture. It uses columns to support a triangular pediment. The columns are strong because unlike a wall they have a wide base which supports the column, and because there can be many columns in place of a single wall. -Sophie. Math.

Arms

These weapons can also be found at the Metro. Art Museum in New York. These type of guns would've been used by marauders. So cool!

This is an engraving of the 54th regiment in the civil war. This was the first African American regiment in the united states army. When they learned that they were being paid less than the white regiments, they decided to become a volunteer regiment. Their bravery in the war shows that the place someone comes from has nothing to do with their ability to succeed.

Metropolitan Art Museum

This is a painting found at the Metro. Art Museum in New York. This particular painting is done by Jackson Pollack. Jackson Pollack is an American artist who used splatters. Unfortunately he is no longer alive; however, his artwork is famous and known by artists around the nation.

New york is awesome/ exciting. my favorite part of new york is central park, broadway, and times square. the city has so many buildings and cabs.
even though i like NY, i would rather be a boston person, because it is so busy and crowded. miles

Overall, new york was very fun. Everthing was fun, the city seemed so alive. It was a more lively version of boston, and that could be either good or bad, depending on the person. In my opinion, i kind of like it better. Dont get me wrong, boston was so much fun, and i would probably rather live there, but i have a lot of family in new york And as everyone knows, im a lively person. So i did like new york and the flow of it, and how its the city that never sleeps.///Ibrahim
