New York City - oh my, I think I fell in love. I went there twice on my own and we went there for a baseball game and to see the Statue of Liberty.

Boston - you have to ask someone else about this trip, I wanted to go to Washington DC.

Niagara Falls - saw them five years ago and thought they woud be bigger. So when Scot rented a big van and offered me to join the others on the trip I declined. Had to study for a test anyway.

Mountains - Shawangunk Mountains - only half an hour away but if you don't have a car they might be as well on he other side of Atlantic ocean. Luckily, Scot still had the car he rented, so we just took off after lunch and headed for the Minnewaska State Park.

West Point - another of the trips organized by International Office. Most surprising was to see a piece of the Berlin Wall in the visitor's center.

Sea Side Hights - It was almost eleven p.m. on Friday night when someone said Let's go to the beach. And the result ?
