Let freedom ring!

Tonight's going to be a quick one because I'm exhausted, as usual. Hmmm...I see a trend starting.

Anyway, just an update on what happened today. I slept in this morning which was nice and then joined a group of Comms students to visit Grant's Tomb, which is just across the street from the I-House. It was really cool and our tour guide was super dramatic...New York acting. :o)

After that, a group of us went to a play called The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [abridged]. Anthony Strike was able to get some free tickets from work because the director of the play works in his office. Directing on the side is just a hobby. So Anthony, Laurel, Lyndsey, Meridith, Brittany Karford and myself, went to the play. It was done completely by three guys and it was modernized and shortened. It was really funny.

In the afternoon/evening we met up with a group of students to go walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Long story short, we got split up into a bunch of different groups and all ended up going different ways. Lyndsey and I were in different groups, but since I don't have a digital camera and it's usually hers that I get the pictures from, I've included some below. My favorites are the skyline pictures.

My favorite part was seeing the Statue of Liberty from the bridge. That's the thing I care about seeing the most while I'm in New York. Although we haven't been close up yet, it was awesome to see her. I was saw her just after the sun had gone down, so I could see her all lit up and the torch lit. It was AWESOME! I can't wait to make it to the island.

Anyway, the pictures are pretty self explanatory tonight, so I'm just going to stack them all together. The city views are on the bridge in the direction of Brooklyn facing Manhattan. Enjoy!
