NEW YORK CITY, meet UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY. We've got quite the fine group of kids here. John is basically a certified New York tour guide because he spent a summer internship here. So is Ana, she's from here. Her mom even took her home for the evening. Randy is a rascal, Daniel is a goofball, and Taylor has a son. Jenna takes energy pills even though she's the last person who needs them, Mackenzie is gluten-free, Megan goes to bed early, and Emily won't watch a Broadway show because she'll fall asleep. Alexa won't swear because her husband will get mad at her, Marissa leads the way but always in the opposite direction we're supposed to be going, and Laura and I love cheese. Honestly, I love these kids already. It's a great group. I'm excited to learn more about each one of them. We spent the day roaming the city, starting with getting subway passes, checking into our super sweet Marriott hotel (https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/nycmq-new-york-marriott-marquis/), and getting dinner at Los Tacos No. 1 (WHICH, btw, tastes and looks exactly like my favorite "The Taco Stand" in Southern California.) We walked around 5th Ave, got lost a bit, walked past 40 dressed-up costumers and sellers of fake Gucci bags looking for quick cash, as well as went in the 5 story Nike store that had its own decked-out basketball court. We walked until our feet ached, and then we went back to the hotel and combined our daily credit ($30 per room) to order every dessert on the menu as we overlooked Times Square. The cheesecake, coconut pecan pie, and the sundaes were amazing. And the truffle fries... I tasted a piece of heaven tonight. Day one has been a success. www.uvuprssa.org www.facebook.com/uvuprssa/ www.instagram.com/kaitiguiver/
