This was the last real day before our departure. And today was a day of education and art. The first stop of the day was MOMA – Museum Of Modern Art – where the works of many great painters and sculptures are doing their share to beautify Manhattan. Van Gogh’s “Starry night” was just one of the many pieces that hung on the museum walls, and if it was not for a remodelling that was going on, we could have stayed there till nightfall. Sadly though, parts of the museum were under reconstruction which meant that Monet, Matisse, and many other wonderful artists were nowhere to be found.
After the visit to the museum, we were to meet again at 2 o’clock for a lecture on Latinos and Hispanics in New York at City University of New York. This meant that we could roam the city and shop as we walked down Fifth Avenue. However, the time restraint was simply too difficult for some to comprehend. When we were about to enter the university, we were still one person short. A panic spread amongst the teachers and students, and world war 3 was nearly about to break out. Luckily, the person showed up unharmed and a little embarrassed just as the lecture started.
One thing I would like to share before I nod off: This week has been like a modern fairytale – and it is a never ending story.
