I just read about it in a fictional look at memory, The Echo Maker by Richard Powers. However, Spring Break is in April when my daughter gets a week off from school. Last year, she was working on a state project on Mississippi so we ended up exploring the state and reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. This year, I thought about going to the Laura Ingalls Wilder homestead, but that doesn't open up until Memorial Day. So, I'm looking for interesting book settings as possible travel sites. I'm very curious about locations in the Midwestern or Southern states. Thanks, Sandra Dana,

You missed the prayer and meditation room in the first floor.Members of the UN of all faiths visit to seek inner guidance. Sri Chinmoy was the director of meditation at the UN for 40 years, presently his students are conducting this weekly activity.

And when exactly is Spring Break for you? 'Cause if you are going to be in NE in March, you can't miss the Sandhill Crane migration. It is worth the drive. At any rate, if you want to email me, I can see if I know of anything interesting near where you are planning to go! hmmm…do you know where you are going and what kinds of things you’d like to see?

Yes, the United Nations in NYC is truly a unique and inspiring example of international cooperation. And, Manhattan has an incomparable mix of ethnicities. This is the best place on planet Earth for people watching. Still, I'm curious about learning opportunities in the middle states. We're looking for suggestions for our Spring Break road trip. Do you have any recommendations? Sandra Dana,

Sometimes, I wish we weren't quite so far from the East coast because there is so much there I'd like to take the kids to see. There is a lot of interesting stuff here in the middle, too, but it isn't quite so impressive. What a cool field trip!
