NYM-JN24- Day 1

First day in NYC a success!
We have officially started in New York City at one of the premier hostals in the world. they come from all over the globe, literally, to stay and convive together at this upper westside manhatten meet up spot. among the crowds of internationals and other group progams for youth Teen Treks set out for our first day of biking, and it was great! We took the necessary time to prepare bikes and get to know each other in the spacious back patio and yard of the hostel itself, and then set out for a nice ride through Central Park, about four blocks away, where we had a nice lunch. Then we set out for the Natural Science and History Museum of New York where we hardly even notice the weather system pass over us as we took in all the information about the cosmos, ancient civilizations, human origins, biodiversity and much much much more, believe us when we say the we could have spent days in there!
We spent the rest of the day in typical New York fashion, strolling the streets on foot and shopping! Well, we had to make sure everyone had the proper equipment so we can set out early tomorrow morning on the journey! we'll be in touch with Pictures to come and Adlai is going to post a Face book, so stay tuned!!
