The half term History trip to New York was hailed an outstanding success despite the same never-ending rain that we were experiencing in Devon! In many ways, the continual soakings as they wandered between the very many attractions made the trip all the more memorable, with highlights including (but not limited to); visiting Liberty and Ellis Island to learn some of the extraordinary individual stories of immigration to the US; looking back at the 20’s and 30’s through touring Wall Street, Grand Central and the Empire State Building; and an extraordinary tour of the UN. However, we suspect the girls would probably add to this list a spectacular Broadway show (Chicago) as well as ice skating in the shadow of the Rockefeller Centre!
