NYC - Day One Traveling

So I've changed my format of my NYC picture posts since it was becoming a very long stream of pictures that was being updated every other day. I have no reposted them under different titles in order to make it a little easier to browse. Happy browsing! Don't forget to share, like and comment!
This is an old building we saw just as we crossed the border into buffalo. The bus driver told us a very interesting about how there is a herd of buffalo that graze on the hills just over the boarder. Everyday at (I think) 10:00 a.m. these buffalo were trained to switch grazing shifts with another set of buffalo. They were trained to do this and now continue to do so without the help from any humans. Although this may seem far fetched a big chunk of our bus load believed because of the very convincing way he told us. We all got a kick out of the buffalo he was speaking of once we saw them though. Anybody been over that border and seen the various different buffalo statues along the side of the highway? Yeah... that's what he was talking about. 






These are all from the first night on our little exploration of the block. Upon arrival we were the second last group to receive our room assignment and as we were waiting by the elevators we met another group who had opened there room only to find some random couple in it. After hearing the rest of our class, us included, were quite hesitant to open our rooms, a little unsure of what we would find. Sure enough we opened our room door to have the same problem, it was occupied. Thankfully though it was only a different group that had been assigned to the same room as us. I went downstairs and got a new number and finally we got settled in and then took a short walk to get a bit of a glimpse as to what was all around us.
