New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of


Today it's exactly one year ago that J. and I went to NY. I actually can't believe it's already been a year. Time flies so quick!

So today my mind sometimes goes back in time and I remember all the great things we saw, did and happened to us.

The photo above is I think the best experience we had in the Big Apple (how tacky to call it like that ;-)..).. When I look at this picture I remember everything so vibrant. The shop where I bought two slices of pizza and some orange juice. The beautiful weather. The amazingly high buildings where still at 11 in the evening you could see people work or gym. And specially the girls who sad infront of us. They were very.. interesthing. It was like we were in a episode of Gossip Girl. They were so font of themselves and loved to hear themselves talk. And the things they said! J. and I were just observing them and sometimes we looked at each other and we knew we were thinking the exact same. I really liked it. This is how we, European people, know America for. Luckly this was the exception (ok, together with two guys who didn't knew each other but out of the blue started to talk to each other about guns at the Statue of Liberty), but it was fun to whitness.

Aah, sweet memories. They all come back.

New York, New York Day 4

On monday we stood up very early so we wouldn't had to wait in line to go to the Statue of Liberty. At 8:30 we were almost the first at the ticket boot. What we didn't knew, but what a nice surprise was, was that the first 1000 people (I don't remember the exact number) would have access to the monument. We didn't had access to the crown. All those tickets were unfortunately sold out.

The arrival hall for the immigrants. Impressive place.

The subway station of Wall Street.

Wall Street..

Wall Street..

On sunday we saw that there would be a free ciname night on monday at Bryant Park. We thought that that would be a nice thing to do, so we did. And it was great. This was one of my highlights of the trip. We came to the park at about 6 and had to wait till 9, but it was worth it. Not because of the movie (How green was my valley), that was actually quite boring and difficult to follow, but because of the atmosphere in the park. Everyone was chilling and chatting and having fun and it was realluy nice to sit in between and just observe..
