Tuesday

On Tuesday we woke up at the crack of dawn...aka 8 AM. We packed our bags, checked out of our rooms, and put our bags in this room thingy so we didnt have to haul them around. We hopped on the subway and rode to Battery Park. Near Battery Park we went to an awesome bakery and had delicious bagels and shmear, but kevin had a croissante. After that we walked back to the park and bought our tickets to get on a ferry to Ellis Island, near the Statue of Liberty. On the ferry we met a group of "college" students from Liverpool, England and from Texas. At Ellis Island we went inside the Immigration Museum. Kiera and Krystal actually found out about relatives that passed through registration. It was neat because they got to see the ship they rode, their age, their signature, and other incredble things. When we got off the ferry we walked around Battery Park and ate food from street vendors. Heather's purse broke so we had to go back to the hole in the wall store, but they wouldn't let her exchange it. After that we got our bags, and took off to Penn Station to head out to Long Island. There was a Haagan Daaz and so stocked up on the sweets we thought we wouldn't have at the friary. When we made it Brother Jacob, Lloraine, Lorane took us to the house. When we arrived we just kinda played it cool. Everyone picked out rooms and settled in the cottage guest house. The place has everything we need and all the tea you could want. Its been glamorous in a holy sort of way and great all around! :)(:
