The Big Apple part 2 and last round

So during break a few of my Iowa teammates and I went to NYC for 5 days. We traveled in via Greyhound. We missed the first bus so we caught the next one putting us two hours behind schedule. We stayed at Jazz on the City Hostel and enjoyed ourselves there. During the days we visited The Met, The MoMA, The Museum of Natural History, The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island, Ellis Island, The Guggenheim Museum, The World Trade Center, Central Park, Times Square, China Town, and Little Italy. At night, we walked around, toured the subway system, and shared drinks on our 6th floor terrace.

For my final round I will be traveling to southeast Georgia to the Okefenokee swamp. We will be doing trail maintenance on over 30 miles of trails. Our duties include traveling the swamp on canoe and motorboat! Two nights a week we will be tenting on platforms on the swamp. Should be a good time.

Here are my NYC photos
