New York City Trip/ US Open

So labor day weekend 2009 was awesome! I got home a couple of hours ago and had to write about my trip tonight. I left friday afternoon (Ben was nice enough to take me and bring me back) and met Linda at Aqua. We had dinner and then went back to her place and chatted for a couple of hours. Saturday I met Ben, Kelli, Tim and Bayan at the Park for brunch I had ricotta cheese pancakes with orange marmalade. Sounds yummy doesn't it?? well it was yummy! :)
Afterwards we decided to walk off our meal at the newly opened highline park (the picture is from there). Later on when everyone else arrived we went to dinner at a mexican restaurant and then went out afterwards.
Sunday was US open day! We went to an evening game. We took a train to flushing from Grand Central. It took about 40 minutes on the train to get there. We were all able to sit together but our seats were pretty high up. The womens match was a nail biter! Emily and I decided to walk around and we were able to sneak in to one of the lower levels. We saw the end of the womens match and most of the mens match afterwards. It was a long day but it was awesome!

New Fall Team and Orientation - The Atlantic Herons!



So here's a pic of my new team. In the picture are Diego, Erdin, Jerome, Nathan, Morgan, myself, Lisa and Adah. Jerome was our pilot and was with us the entire orientation. This picture was taken at the end of day at Warner center. The day was absolutely beautiful! We had to build a raft and do some other outdoor activities. I was pretty tired but we all got to know each other really well by the end of the day. Most of orientation was a bit of a repeat for me since I had already gone through it at the beginning of summer. However I did get a chance to meet alot of new people. I am in the Atlantic ocean and on team Heron. I'm excited about fall and all the new activities... I'm really looking forward to working with my new team!
