Long Island, New York, USA - 11th April 2008

By: hermione4586

Hi again everybody!

Jenn and I both apologize for not updating very often. Don't worry, I will include pictures from a few days on here. Jenn is done with school now except a weekend class so she has time to play with me and Nuada after work now!

I'll begin with Wednesday.. Nuada and I hung out Jenn and her dad when Jenn decided to come home on her lunch break from work. That afternoon I got to check out a handicapped mini-bus. Jenn's dad is retired and now he drives a bus for handicapped children. This bus was really nice and new! I had fun looking at all the things on it.

Yesterday I had a busier day. After Jenn got home from work, she brought us to her library to return her books that were due.

After that, we went to a place called Bald Hill in Farmingville. Bald Hill is one of the highest points on the relatively flat Long Island. It is also the home of a Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park. I got to see the majestic memorial and from the top area by the memorial I saw all the way out across the island and down to the bay.

And since it was such a beautiful night, Jenn brought us down to the lake before going home. Lake Ronkonkoma is a few blocks away from where Jenn lives. It is the biggest lake on Long Island and it is said to be haunted by an indian princess. All the locals know the story. Jenn said the scary part is that there really are deaths every few years and they have always been males, like the legend says. Yikes! Jenn said we'll go back sometime soon..

Tomorrow we will be visiting Stony Brook University to see what we can see!

Anyway, here are my pictures! Enjoy!
