=My Trip:=

The New York trip was awesome! Even with the rain it was still a great trip. When we got to New York, my group decided to join with two other groups. Since Coach Sweeten goes to New York a lot, we were allowed to follow him to Wall Street. That was awesome! It made the sixty bucks I had in my pocket feel really small compared to all the money traded in the Stock Exchange. Then we went to Chinatown and saw some cool stuff. It was incredible how different Chinatown was from other places in New York City. I felt really out of place because everyone around me seemed to know exactly what they were doing. After Chinatown, we went to the Bowery Mission where we listened to a sermon by Coach Sweeten, and saw a fight between to people. After that we went up to the Midtown area. That was cool because there was a lot of cool stores where you could find almost anything. From Midtown, we walked to Times Square area. On our way there we stopped at Pronto Pizza, which was amazing! It was so good, but it was also really filling. Times Square was really cool, and all the lights were really bright. The subway wasn't really that cool. The ferry ride was fun even though it was really foggy and we couldn't really see anything. The trip home was boring because all the people around me were sleeping and there was no one to talk to. All in all, it was the best field trip in my Kraybill life.

Advice:
The bus ride is pretty long, so make sure you are at school the day they pick seats for the bus ride. If you don't you can still have a great trip though. Make sure you bring some sort of entertainment for the bus like an ipod. If Sweeten goes along, ask him if you can tag along with him for the day. He knows his way around New York City so he can take you to all the cool places no one else goes to like Wall Street. Bring money for food and other random things you find when you are walking around New York. Also, make sure you don't schedule anything for the next day, because you will probably want to sleep in really late. And, make sure you get plenty of sleep the previous night. Remember to have fun!!
