DAY 4 - SUNDAY, 26.6 - WNBA - LA SPARKS@NY LIBERTY

Sunday started with some much needed rest as our group was quite tired after a long day in Manhattan on Saturday. We had a pick-up football game after breakfast to get some much needed exercise.  Michael's NYC Gators beat Neven's Manhattan Muggers 5-3!  Josip Lazeta was the MVP.  Keeping the sports going, we traveled to Newark, New Jersey to see a WNBA match-up featuring the NY Liberty against the LA Sparks.  The Sparks best player is 6'-5'' Candace Parker who can dunk!  The Liberty won the game and the Sparks lost Parker to a knee injury.  After the game and fighting lots of traffic to get the Manhattan, the Holland Tunnel was a mess, the group visited Central Park.  We head back to the city for Guggenheim Museum and MTV tomorrow! 

DAY 3 - SATURDAY, (25.6) - Manhattan

The sun finally came out! We started our day with a quick drive around the east and west side of Manhattan, viewing the Brooklyn bridge, Statue of Liberty, WTC site, etc. Then we visited the American Museum of National History on the upper west side. It was very interesting, especially the space show, Journey to the Stars and the IMAX educational movie Sea Rex that we saw. After 4 hours at the museum, we went to Times Square and walked around the center a little bit. At the end of this eventful day we had a nice dinner at the Olive Garden restaurant in Times Square.

DAY 2 - Friday (24.6), WOODBURY COMMONS PREMIUM OUTLETS

On Friday we changed our schedule slightly due to rain and visited group of 100 outlet style stores. We discussed the common English expression, "Shop until you drop" and did our best to help the struggling New York economy. Lana O won the award of best shopper! On the way back we stopped to see a IMAX movie, "Super 8" by Steven Spielberg. It was fun but a bit chilly!

DAY 1 - Thursday (23.6), IONA UNIVERSITY ORIENTATION & TOUR

On Thursday the group attended an information session given by Christina from Iona admissions and organized by the very helpful summer coordinator, Cindy Zapata. Chirstina talked about the college expereince at Iona and why Iona is the best college in the area. The rain outside temporarily postponed our 1-hour tour, but we will reschedule it sometime next week. After the oreintation session we visited Wal-Mart to buy supplies and had a wonderful lunch at Legal Seafood in White Plains. A wonderful day and then jetlag hit...

LAST DAY OF REST!

Just a reminder we are meeting tomorrow at the airport at 10:45.  See you then!
