New York - Day 4
This morning we got up and went to breakfast at a little cafe. I had a crossaint and some orange juice. Then we strolled over to St. Patrick's Cathedral, a very old and historical church. One of the popes visited here. Next we went to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, probably the most famous hotel in the world. It was very nice inside, although all we got to see was the lobby. It's located on Park Avenue, which is a very well-groomed street. There are wide medians in the middle of the road, and they have tulips planted in them. Central Park is only a few blocks away, so we spent some time walking through the park. We wanted to see the chess players, but they were nowhere to be found. After lunch at a pizzeria, it was back to committee meetings. In the UNHCR, there was still a bunch of pointless discussion about speaker times, but we finally started to do some work. We all got into our blocs and started some ideas for drafting report segments. I met up with weston for dinner, and we ate at the Trolly Cafe. I had a burger bacon and sauteed onions and some Red Stripe beer. Two thumbs up for Red Stripe. After one more committee meeting, which lasted for about three hours, we went to Ben and Jerry's for dessert. Oddly enough, we saw a guy there wearing a Tumwater golf club t-shirt. It was a tiring day, so we went to be pretty early (and by that I mean around 12:30).
