Where's Waldo New York Style!

Colleen Van Houwe - May 31st

Today we were sent on a Scavenger Hunt all throughout Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. Instead of being competitive like the other teams, we decided to take it easy and enjoy the city! While searching for the items on the list, we ran into the real heart of New York...the findings next to our highlighted destinations! This event allowed us to see the "behind the scenes" look at NYC. Not just the tourist sights, but the residential and cultural life. It represents the people of the city, not just its accomplishments and boasts. My team's favorite part of the day was leaving the crazy busy vibe of Manhattan and entering the more relaxed and carefree area of Brooklyn. We sat under the Brooklyn Bridge at the Old Fulton Pier and ate butter pecan ice cream! What a good day! Definitely needed before we jump into the crazy week of research and little sleep!
