we're here!

As you may be able to tell by the time of my post we arrived in NYC pretty late. We hit some crazy traffic in Pennsylvania twice (3 miles in 80minutes and 2 miles in 30 minutes) and getting over the Washington Bridge was a treat as well. But we did make it safe and sound... a little tired and very very sweaty, but safe and sound none the less.

We unpacked at The Central Park Hostel and then ran up three blocks and had some pizza from a very NY hole in the wall family owned Mexican-Italian Pizzeria. It was great. The guys are all asleep now and i think the girls are either showering or making pretty things to put in their hair.

Tomorrow we do an INSIGHT-ON SIGHT in the morning in Central Park, finalize plans for the Taft House and then maybe Chinatown in the evening... we'll see what the morning brings.

oh... here are our blog nicknames for the trip, see if you can figure out whose who. Good luck.

GUYS:
  • PT YOOPER
  • JOHNNY 5
  • POP STARGEL
  • ELMO

GALS:

Also on the way down the students took a spiritual gifts test and personality profile. We will discuss that tomorrow. They also journaled several times and I hope to share some of that with you tomorrow as well.

Keep praying.
