Explore NYC in Central Park

The angel on top of the Bethesda fountain got a lot of negative reviews when it was
first unveiled to honor Union soldiers who died in the Civil War.
It's now a favorite NYC landmark. We love it, too. 

It was a cloudy day. We had our umbrellas ready; rain was in the forecast. The humidity was 90 percent. We missed the Alice in Wonderland sculpture. Joe, the teacher, completely forgot! Can you believe that? We were pooped and hungry and sweating at the end of our walk. Nevertheless, it was nice, enjoyable, and dare we say, fun! We should be writing and posting our thoughts soon at NYLC's student writing blog. Stop by and check it out soon!

We've explored; we've written; we've posted!

Our thoughts and observations on the West Village are now online. Do you have a few minutes to read a few short articles? Click on over to NYLC's Student Writing blog and check out what we saw and how we felt about our walk through this historic, ecclectic, and quiet (at 2pm) neighborhood.

Explore NYC on the High Line!

Students from the Explore NYC class walked the entire length of the High Line yesterday. Next up, we're going to talk and write about what we saw there, and we'll be posting our essays soon on the NYLC student writing blog. For now, stop by and see more photos of our little excursion!
