Wandering on the West Side

          Greetings from Central Park! We have had a very busy day.
We began with bagels as we walked through Columbia University's campus on the Upper West Side. We also visited Barnard College.
          We visited the Seinfeld diner and happened upon the country's largest cathedral, an Episcopal space called the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The greeter was warm and welcomed us to listen to a visiting student choir.
          On our way to the American Museum of Natural History, one of our students answered a question from a woman looking for directions. We all clapped in awe of the city savvy. We explored dinosaur fossils and under the ocean life. The planetarium was probably the coolest (and comfiest) thing we've seen in a while.
          From the museum, we went to Fairway and bought food for our picnic in Central Park. We just enjoyed fresh New York cheesecake. Now, we're off again. We have a date with a boat in Lower Manhattan!
