Last Day :(

Our last day in NYC did not go wasted.  Ed, our scholar, needed to be back at Mt. Holyoke to work his real job so we were led for the day by Charles.  We started the morning at the Highline, a train track on the West Side that was turned into a super cool park.  We walked the entire thing and ended up near Grammercy.  We saw the house that Edna St. Vincent Millay lived in and found out that it's for sale.  (Only 2.6 million)  We took a coffee break at Magnolia Bakery and walked through the Washington Arch on our way to the Strand Bookstore for our last stop before heading back to bus.  I left NYC with a tan, a bunch of blisters, some trinkets and a great deal of knowledge about the city and how it works as well as how it has changed over the last 125 years.  Thank you so much Maine Humanities for providing us with such a wonderful class and experience for the last two years.  It was a true pleasure.
