The DGS Jazz Ensemble arose to a scrumptious breakfast before hitting the road at 8:00a (EST) this morning.
We toured Ellis Island first, learning much about this great American gateway that ushered over 11 million immigrants through its doors. The students viewed much memorabilia from the era and were in awe of the photos they saw. Imagining the emotions and attitudes present during its heyday can easily overwhelm. It was incredible.
At Liberty Island, we experienced a different type of awe. Lady Liberty looked dazzling against the cloudless blue sky. Neither postcards nor my phone's wimpy camera can do her justice, (forgive the pun) but photos will be posted anyway. It was truly something to behold.
More ramblings later. Lunch!
