More reflections


August 7, 2017
Today we arrived in New York. We came to Niagara, New York and the first thing we did was go watch the waterfall. After watching the waterfall and taking pictures, we went straight up to the observation tower. The view from the observation tower was amazing. We spent all day there. Once the sun went down, they had a light that would change colors and reflect those colors on the waterfall. The waterfall changed colors from blue to green to red and pink, it was really cool to watch. Once it hit around 10pm they set off fireworks. Me and my friend Alfredo stood and watched the fireworks together. It was overall a great day; I was really tired by the end. - Natajsia (grade 10)

Today we went to Niagara Falls for the second time. This time we were able to actually take a boat out on the water and get close to the actual falls. We ended up getting wet on the boat the closer we got to the falls, the wetter we all got. It was so much fun. Afterwards we went to the Cave of Winds, which was a walkway that walked directly up to the waterfall. If you stood in a certain corner at the very top, you were able to actual get hit with and feel the Niagara water. It was so much fun, and such a great experience. I am so lucky that I was able to do that. I cannot wait to see what we do tomorrow. - Natajsia (grade 10)

Today we began the day by packing up all our stuff and moving it from the hotel to the bus. We went to the Federal Reserve Bank located in Cleveland, Ohio. Then we went to lunch on Case Western University. The food was good. We went on a tour of the college campus and learned about the life of a college student on their campus. We the stopped really quick at a hospital, we went to the roof and looked down at the lovely city of Cleveland. It was an amazing view. The very last thing we did was go on the Nautica Queen Cruise for dinner. The food was good and watching the sunset on the top floor of the boat was one of the best things ever. My friends and I danced the night away and had a great time.  - Natajsia (grade 10)
