Dear readers,
Time flies, doesn’t it? Once again, I had the great
privilege of leading a group of students through an American Studies course and
a week in our favorite city, New York. As always, there was a lot to see and much
to experience in the city enjoying an October heatwave (we seem to have been
lucky recently – a second wonderfully warm October week for our group in a
row). The group of fourteen eager students and yours truly surely made the most
of it. Also, I suspect there are will be a number of us returning – soon - due
to the variety and quality of everything this magnificent city can offer be it
culture, history or any aspect of American life.
Please, read the accounts written by my students. They
certainly had their own favourites on our itenerary. Mine were the Metropolitan
Opera, as always, Chicago the Musical, and our visit to the UN Headquarters
that was hosted by a former student of mine. Talk about the time flying and
students having careers all over the world…! Furthermore, the extraordinary
team-spirit this smallish yet vivacious group had needs to be acknowledged.
I would like to thank my wonderfully enthusiastic,
punctual and joyful students as well as their exceptionally supportive families.
NYC is a city to be experienced in person. I hope there will be new groups of
students to do so in the near future.
Until next time, New York!
Love,
Mervi
