New York City 2010

by Anne Starke

I recently returned to Boulder from the annual trip to New York City with the 9th and 11th grades. I am a still a little tired, so this writing may not be as entertaining as I would like. But let me give you a little glimpse into what the trip was like.

Monday March 22: Arrived in NYC. The airport was packed; we could hardly get out!

Arrived at the Milburn Hotel around 8 pm and headed across the street to Niko's for dinner.

Tuesday: Spent the day in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In an attempt to stay within our budget we thought we'd bring sack lunches purchased at Zabar's. Ha! No food is allowed in the Met and the security guards are rather inflexible about it. Fortunately the man in the hot dog stand outside agreed to stash our bags for us.

The 9th grade and I retraced the steps of our History through Art I block, examining, imitating and drawing the art of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome.

The 11th grade spent the morning with the musical instruments.

Dinner was at Cafe Un Deux Trois, followed by "A Little Night Music" with Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

That's all I have time for blogging today: I'll continue later.
