Visiting the Big Apple

We spent the day in New York City yesterday. Using the Subway was a good experience, except it seemed like we missed out on so much of New York City while riding underground. We spent time in Chinatown and ate at a great Malaysian restaurant. We spent the majority of our time visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, both were very interesting. We than went to Time Square and Central Park. We were amazed to actually hear birds chirping while sitting in Central Park, one can almost forget being in the city. We had pizza for dinner, we figured we needed to try New York style pizza. We enjoyed our time there, but also were glad when it was time to leave because we could only handle so much of the big apple.

Pennsylvania We Made It!!!

We arrived safely to Akron, PA and are enjoying the sunny weather, the beautiful country side, and the nice 21 hole disc golf course. During our time here we will learn about the nuts and bolts of going with MCC, and also information on living cross culturally. We also have the opportunity to go to New York City for a day, which will be fun since neither of us have been there. After our time in Akron we will be heading down to Nicaragua (3rd of November). We will spend the first six weeks in Managua, the capital. During this time we will live with a local family and begin our language training.
