The First Day!

After a long 5 hour bus ride, we are finally here! New York! Just being in the city, you can sense excitement. People are everywhere, rushing down the street, with barely any time to give you directions. The journey was tiring, but we are so glad that we are finally here. 

The hostel we are staying it is very nice. There are people from around the world that are staying here. I love walking down the hallways and listening to people converse in different languages. There are so many things to do just in the hostel itself, and we get to cook our own food! The group has settled very well in here. 

So far, we've discovered that grocery shopping is quite expensive in New York. But it is also very convenient because there are numerous shops on every block! New York is amazingly vibrant. There are so many different kinds of people who call this place home. I'm really excited to see more of the city. 

Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty tomorrow! I'm excited to report back on our experiences there.
