The Met Cloisters and The Met

This morning we traveled north to the Met Cloister. Richard led us through and showed us what stain glass windows he worked on. After exploring the Cloister and many photos later, we went to lunch at the New Leaf down the hill from the museum. Next we went hopped on the bus and headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mr. Womack gave us a personal tour of some of the highlights in the museum. He was almost got kicked out for not having a "lecture pass." Who knew?  Many of us went to the Plaza after exploring the Met.

MoMA and the Highline!

We started off the day with a trip to the Museum of Modern Art! We got to see lots of famous works like Van Gogh's "Starry Night", Monet's Water Lilies, Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" and many, many more. After that, we had lunch at the Chelsea market, and had time for some shopping and poking around. All this was followed by a very chilly tour of the Highline with Richard! We learned all about the history and had some amazing views of the architecture in the area. Everyone split up for dinner and afternoon activities afterwards.  Fun day!

Bears on Ice

Today after work we all split up for a quick and early dinner before meeting back in the hotel lobby at 7:30. From there we walked to the NYC Public Library to look around and take pictures before it closed at 8. After walking around the library for a few minutes, we walked to Bryant Park where we got ready to ice skate! Once we had our skates on and were prepared to hit the ice, we headed to the outdoor rink and got started. Although our skating was short lived, it was so much fun and we only had a few falls! When everyone had had enough skating for one night, some girls headed back to the hotel while the others braved the cold with our chaperones to order waffles from a nearby waffle stand - they were delicious! Now we're getting ready for another day of work tomorrow!

Top of the Rock!

Today everyone went back to their internships after the long weekend. While we were not ecstatic to wake up early, we were all excited to return to our fantastic internships. After work, groups headed out to different parts of New York for shopping, sightseeing, and more until dinner. Most everyone just grabbed a quick dinner to be back in time for the Top of the Rock! At seven, we all headed to Rockefeller Center and had an entertaining 69-floor trip to the very tip top of the building. At the top, we had a fantastic view of New York and took lots of pictures. Later, we all met back at the hotel and snacked on some delicious cookies from Levain. While doing this, we talked about our highlights of the trip, which included many Broadway plays, amazing restaurants, cool museums, and incredible internships. This trip is coming to a close, and while we are all excited to see our friends and family back home, we are sad to leave this bustling city that we have grown to love, the Big Apple!
