Saturday, June 4th: Great British Scavenger Hunt
Our resourceful group met members of the St. George Society in Central Park to participate in the Great British Scavenger Hunt. Clues led us all over Manhattan to various landmarks highlighting the longstanding friendship between the US and Great Britain. Our group came in 3rd, a very respectable showing! We celebrated our victory at a British Pub.

Our team bedraggled but victorious.
