On Wednesday, I was asked to photograph an Intern/Trainee Mixer for CIEE. The flight down was beautiful, lasting approximately 55 minutes on a wonderful JetBlue airline – haven’t not flown JetBlue often, I can’t say enough about them, they are like flying internationally on a domestic flight. Who knew domestic airlines still give away multiple beverages (including OJ, Dunkin Donuts Coffee, and water), a free checked luggage piece, AND good snacks? Anyway, this post is not about the wonders of Jet Blue! Really, it’s about New York City!

Our event was held at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel on their outdoor patio tucked away between multi-story buildings. A fabulous location for our intimate gathering. Before the event began, we wandered around looking for food..decisions, decisions…and I grabbed the shot on the right of a moment in time in NYC  from a street corner while we were debating upon Juniors or a Turkish Delight across the street (the Turkish cuisine won).

Before we knew it, the event was beginning and we were rolling. It was a wonderful turnout of our Interns from all over the greater NYC area. The photos will be posted on the CIEE Intern/Trainee Facebook Page soon.

After a few hours of many smiles, new friendships, socializing, and a thunderstorm, we were packing up to make our way back home to PWM.
