Day 2 and 3 reports

Jeremy:
On Saturday, we visited the Statue of Liberty(the green lady) and took many pictures. We were smart and took the Statten Island ferry instead of the Lady Liberty tour which saved us 4 hours! I had a snow cone which was very cold. We are about to go out for the night tour later tonight. Still 2 days to go!

Kathy:
I think we travelled miles today and my feet are paying fir it with some blisters. We have held out on shopping as the day was full of sunshine and the tour gudies have warned us that it is going to snow and rain tommorrow and Monday so we plan to check out Macyès, Toyrus and the souvenir shops. We ate luch outsider at a cafe and it was great. Granny forgot the bus titckets at the hotel so I had to do some backtracking first thing this morning but Granny us enjoying all the sights.

Granny:
JEAN; WE HAD A VERY BUSY DAY FROM EARLY MORNING TILL NOW AND THE NIGHT TOUR IS STILL COMING UP. I HAVE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT TIRED BUT IT IS GREAT. WE ARE STILL THINKING ABOUT THE NIGHT BUS TOUR. SOON YOU SOON. LOVE TO ALL.

Rosie:
Hey Yall! Today , our first tour guide wasent the best tour guide ever . If you wanted at the end of the tour , you could tip the guide and the bus driver . So we did not tip her , when my cousin got out , she tried to trip him . Then , we went on a ferry to see the statue of liberty . We got some good shots. We are gonna do all of our shopping tomorow and monday because its going to rain .
See yall in 2 days!
Rosie

Francine :
My Creativity Workshop started yesterday and wow, what a course! The diversity of the participants is amazing! We are 18 people from all over the world, from various professions, backgrounds and interests. We have an attorney from Washington, D.C., the executive director of the American Chamber of Commerce of Guatamala, artists, university professors and a 72-year-old grandmother who recently achieved her doctorate in social studies. Amazing group. The workshop is being held on the 35th floor of a condo highrise on 2nd avenue, close to the United Nations. We are given assignments that focus on shaking up grey matter in our heads, and on removing the dust resting on the creative side of our brains. Our work consists of drawing, writing, interviewing and acting. Our instructors are top-notch. And we have assignments. Our classes end at 1:30 p.m. which gives us plenty of time to tour and hang out in NYC. We're having fun visiting although it is a tad cold. Today, Saturday, was beautiful but cold. Tomorrow, sleat and snow and 90-miles per hour winds are supposed to shake NY. So the gang is planning indoor activities.
Anyways, more news tomorrw. It's really nice to be here.

Nothing much to report= early to bed last night as I was tired from the early morning rides to the airport.

Today just hung around home and then went to Moe's with Dennis & Jennifer.
