I’m really sorry about the delay in updating the blog. We had such a busy schedule that we rarely had a minute to post anything. We will post early next week (after the jet lag has worn off) to let you all know what we got up to. Until then please have a look at [...]

Today we got the subway to Pearl Studios and the kids took part in a drama workshop. We then had lunch at TGI Friday followed by a walking tour of Manhattan. During the tour we read some commemorative tiles from the 9/11 disaster. This made everyone take a moment to remember. We finished the tour at the [...]
