WE MADE IT!!
The whole BUMP team arrived safely in New York City today, the flyers at 10:30am and the drivers at 5:00pm. Those who arrived by plane had time to kill before the rest of the team arrived and toured Time Square and First and Second Evangelical Free Church.
When everyone reunited we took the subway to Coney Island to sample some of Nathan’s famous hotdogs and visit the Atlantic Ocean, a new experience for several members. The water was warm and salty, and the beach was crowded with people and strewn with garbage. The streets bustled with people of all ethnic groups, busy purchasing the unique souvenirs, the savory and sweet foods, and tickets for the amusement rides. We returned to 8th avenue via subway, (which we exited one stop too soon….Typically tourist!) with tired feet and sore backs.
It is now 11:00pm, air mattresses are blown up, sleeping bags are rolled out, and everyone is going to try to catch a wink of sleep before experiencing Chinese, Arabic, and English church services in the morning.
Updates to come, and thank you for your prayers!
