Joya in NYC

13 novembre 2011

4th day

This is my last day here. I don't want to leave but I got to do ... I will refresh this post tonight ! Have a good day !

 

 

Today, I took a walk in Central Park. It's so good to breath in the middle of a huge city like New York ! I've never seen as much squirrel as today. I gave squirrels walnuts, peanuts and bread. Since I love animals, it was one of the best moments I spent here. Moreover, Central Park is so sweet in November with all these yellow, red and orange colors. I took a lot of photographs.

This afternoon, I did something you can't miss when you're in New York City : SHOPPING ! It's less expensive than in France so I bought more clothes than I've never can afford. You should know the famous stores there's in NYC : Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale, M&M's Store, Dylan's Candy Bar, Forever 21, Hollister, American Eagle Outfitters, Urban Outfitter ... Macy's, the largest store in the world and Century 21 where you buy great stuffs (from designers) cheaper than everywhere else !

Now it's time to leave ! I can't wait to see Manhattan from the airplane at night, I was told that it's so wonderful !

3rd day

Today was a very special day. Let me tell you what made me feel so good : my dad ran the New York City Marathon ! It was the most weird four hours of my life, even more exciting than my first day here when I discovered everything. It was incredibly beautiful to feel the brotherhood between the contestants and the supporters. First, there were the runners with disabilities : I struggled but It was impossible to be strong enough : I cried. They are so amazing ! I clap my hands as loud as it was possible.

When I saw my dad, I was so proud ! We don't get on very well but I yelled "Go daddy, Go ! I love you !" and ran with him for a mile.

Yellow is everywhere !
I woke up at 4am (thank you jet lag !). Anyway, I went down in the street getting a coffee. Eventhough this city is supposed to never sleeps, there's no shop open before 10 am. That's why I decided to reach the top of the rock where I enjoyed the sunrise.
Is there a photograph I took :

I took a walk on the High-Line which is a 1-mile linear park built on a  section of the former elevated freight railroad, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan, it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway.

I was starving when I went down the High Line and I found in Meatpacking District an Italian Restaurant where I ate the best Mussels dish I've ever enjoyed in my life.

1st day

In the cab from Times Square to Pennsylvania Hotel.

 

As soon as I touched the american ground, It seemed to be unreal! It was amazing, my biggest dream was coming true.  I was impressed by the time I spent in the airport, I was so impatient to be in New-York (I was in Newark International Airport). A bus drove me in Manhattan. From the New Jersey coast, I saw midtown Manhattan with all these buildings, it was so sick ! I was exhausted but It was impossible to sleep, I WAS IN NEW-YORK !!! Then, I ran to Times Square by walking approximately 5 minutes. What stroked me the most was all the brightness there was, it was like if we were in the middle of the day. I stood several hours there and when I was almost sleeping, I jumped into a cab, jumped into my bed and fell asleep making wonderful dreams.
