We were able to sleep in an extra hour before heading out to Coney Island to walk on the boardwalk. Before walking on the boardwalk we took in a little shopping right in Brooklyn. We were able to take in the Atlantic Ocean and the famous Nathan's Hotdogs for lunch. We were also able to experience true New York culture as we witnessed the Polar Club taking there weekly plunge into the Atlantic Ocean. One of our own BBE students, Tyler Tensen took the plunge into the ocean along with the many locals showing them how true Minnesotan's take the cold....
After breathing the ocean air we took a ride back into the heart of Brooklyn where we then got dropped off and walked the Brooklyn Bridge. We then walked to China Town where the students learned to barter with the best of them. Many of them ended up getting better deals than I did!! After getting some great deals we walked to La Mela (Little Italy) and had some great Italian food.
We then got back onto the bus where we drove to the "Rock" and made a quick change into our dress clothes and then went to the Broadway musical "In The Heights." This musical was based on the Dominican immigrants that came and now live in Manhattan. After arriving back at the hotel we snuggled in dreaming about being out on the boardwalk.....
