Brooklyn Heights
All of all three trips, we walked the most in this trip. Even thought I always went to school in Downtown Brooklyn, I’ve never invested to look around and discover new places within Brooklyn. I was amazed to find out there were many historic houses that are now landmarks in Brooklyn. I’ve learned a lot […]

South Ferry
I have never been on the South Ferry before, mainly because I have no desire to go to Statan Island. The ferry ride was pleasent. You had views of the Statue of Liberty on one side and a view of Govenors Island on the other. The ride was only about a half hour or less. […]
