New York From the Statue of Liberty to the smooth, beautiful song of the Niagara Falls and to the busy streets of Chinatown, soaring to the height of the empire state building, New york has it all. New York is the state of the action, the calm, and the great. Starting when the Native Americans lived in a longhouse to when Henry Hudson discovered Hudson River to the battle of Saratoga, and when all the immigrants started coming to New York, New York has been through victory events good and bad.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. A wonderful place, the falls themselves being one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The roaring water, mist spraying from below, seagulls flying through the sky; One happy place.

Geneseo’s Main Street I was shocked. In my imagination it appeared to be at least twice bigger than it actually was. After wandering along Main Street for a couple of minutes I realized that Geneseo is more than just a small town somewhere in Livingstone County in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Due to its relatively small population Geneseo is a cozy and amiable environment where everyone seems to be to a part of a big family – Geneseo family.

myself. I am always up to going to social gathering, and group outings and the more people the better. My mom used to work for the Erie County Health Department, and part of her job would be going to health fairs, and other events.
