For the last day we’ve visited the amazing Morgan Library before going on a movie tour. I think the teachers were more excited by the Friends building though!

Amazing day today, starting with the 911 memorial which we all found powerful to the Staten Island ferry then Brooklyn Bridge and Dumbo. Pictures to follow.
