Our morning began with a short meeting with John and Anna to talk about our progress and what still needed to be accomplished around the building. Katy, Jared, and I worked on folding laundry and sheet/towel sets for visitors while the others worked on painting. Once we finished with the laundry, the three of us headed upstairs to help with the painting. Jared and I mostly tackled the cutting (the painting around the doors and next to the floor and ceiling, etc.).
Somewhere amidst all of the painting, we took a break for lunch (Little Italy’s Pizza) and finally quit painting around 7 PM due to hunger.
After eating a quick bite of left over pizza, Katy, Dani, Jared and I headed out for the Subway toward the Staten Island Ferry that would allow us to see the Statue of Liberty at night. Directly after boarding, we made our way to the upper deck and stood outside (it was freezing!!) so we could watch the lights of lower Manhattan fade away and see the Statue of Liberty’s bright glow against the night sky and dark water. It was beautiful!!
Once arriving on Staten Island, we stepped off of the ferry and looked around the island for a few minutes (even if we did not know what buildings we were looking at because signs were nonexistent, it was still beautiful). Shortly after our little exploring excursion (and Jared almost convincing me that the statue in the courtyard moved), we headed back to the ferry and back toward our housing.
Our evening ended quickly after arriving back in Manhattan and we all went to bed rather happily and feeling very accomplished. :)
