RASCALS AT THE TOP OF LIBERTY LADY

NEW YORK AT LAST!

You worked so hard for this project to happen, selling newspapers and chocolate treats, that you managed to raise €2,000, which allowed us to make it to ... New York New York!

The other great news is that your American pen pals also fundraised money selling crêpes in order to be able to join us. And off we went, on board our charter bus, heading to the Big Apple. After a four-hour ride, we got to our hostel, which was only a ten-minute walk from Central Park.


Program for the day: picnic in Central Park, visit at the Met Museum, and dinner in a typical New York diner where we celebrated Inès's birthday.


Enjoying the swings...


Owning the city


Enjoying art


Remembering where we come from ... 9-2 in the house!


Meeting with celebrities


Paying tribute to John Lennon


And to Tommie Smith's silent gesture


Devouring a tasty cheeseburger


Taking a two-second break


Quenching our thirst


Congratulating the birthday girl

But to say the truth, the highlight of the day was... Times Square. As soon as we exited the subway, every one of us had their camera in hand, and we were simply and purely mesmerized by the neon lights and giant screens...


Strolling in the streets of Manhattan incognito


Immortalizing the dream


Getting dizzy from so much excitement


Feeling as one
