Choir Tour '06 - A Trip To NYC

At right is a picture of Times Square, the internationally known location in downtown New York City. I was there over spring break with a group of 113 other people from Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Youth Choir. Obviously NYC was the "lure" of the trip, but we also experienced going to a soup kitchen, driving through Lancaster County (Amish Country) and playing in all locations from Knoxville to New Brunswick.

If anyone has been to NYC then I'm sure they went to China Town, probably one of the biggest locations for knock off jewelry, Rolexes, Oakleys, and other assorted "treasures." Well I didn't get to experience the "back-door purchases" of Louis Vitton, Chanel, Prada, Coach or Dior Purses, but I did get to pick up a Rolex, "Stolex" off of a guy and a pair of Oakley sunglasses, "Foakleys."

I have to say I cling to the big city scene like a tick to a dog's back. It's just natural. I love the bustle and frenzy of everyone doing their own thing. I liked how everyone had their iPods out and listening to them, minding their own business looking important and walking through the city. What a great trip..only we were back in school the day after we got back :) Thanks for reading - as always Enjoy!
