1st day on campus, French food!

We finally got started on campus Tuesday after going to a local church by the natural history museum for a quick briefing. We split into our groups and we ended up going to FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and NYU, both of which had really restrictive access, wanting to see student id's etc.

So, we went into a few local coffee shops and eateries to talk to college students. I had many interesting conversations about Christ and salvation. Some of the people I spoke to were Jessica (an episcipalion originally from CO), Jose (a Christian from Dominician Republic), and a group of agnostic students.

After sharing our experiences, we split up and went back to the Office and debriefed. Then, we went back to the hostel before a group of us went out to _. While there we ate at a really nice, authentic French restaurant. The waiters were superb, but after asking for water for all of us a few times, we realized that we already had it, it was in wine bottles on our table. To eat, I ordered a posshe ratatouille sandwich, which was amazing! It was so delicious, one of my new favorite foods. Aside from some added chicken, I'm not entirely sure what was in it, but I loved it. RATATOUILLE ftw!

Then, we went to a nice bakery where I had 3 or 4 delicious choc. chip cookies. After that we went back to Times Sq. for like the third time after 10 p.m., which is sadly when everything closes in that area :(.
