Visiting NYC

This beautiful story began the 9^th of November of 2019. When I arrive at home, my brother, his girlfriend and a friend of us asked me if I wanted to travel to New Yor City. Since that day we started to look for flights and hotels. But, instead of what we thought, that was the easiest thing to do. After we have bought the tickets and payed the hotel, we have to organize the whole trip. To did that we spent a lot of nights visiting McDonald’s like our office, also we spent many nights at home, planning our trip, it was very hard.

 The day arrived; it was 4^th of February. They picked me up in Ourense during the evening and we started to travel to Madrid, in love and company. We arrived at night and we take off really nervous, excited and without sleeping to JFK airport.

When we arrived at the hotel in Queens, we left our stuff and we went to the near metro station in order to go to Manhattan Island. It was late and we could not see any interesting thing, but we could try the most delicious slice of pizza of our lives.

In order to not made this so longer, I am going to summarise the most “interesting” things.

We visited the Madison Square Garden, which was the stage of many events like basketball and hockey on ice matches, boxing fights and live events as performances of very famous artists.

That day something spectacular happened, we had the pleasure of have a cup of tea with the Queen of England… Unfortunately, she was made of wax because we were at Madame Tussauds Museum.

When we were visiting The Empire State Building and suddenly, we were attacked by King Kong.

We froze during our visit to the Statue of Liberty, but we enjoyed it very much and it worth it.

We were able to take a ride around Central Park. I have to admit that it is huge and when we finished, we were really tired. But, the views and the contrast between the nature and the buildings were amazing.

When we were going to Brooklyn Bridge to crossed it, my brother and me started to look for restrooms inside the metro station and we had to went out. When we try to entry again at the station, it was impossible and we lost the train. At that moment, his girlfriend and our friend were in their road to the other side of the river. Then, this way, we had to run through the bridge in order to meet with our trip partners.

"Click here" to see us running through the bridge!

We were also able to visit a building made only by stairs, The Vessel, located at Hudson Yards.

Another funny and curious anecdote that happened to us was to meet Naked Cowboy. We were eating something inside McDonald’s (almost the whole days we ate at a McDonald’s, we are guilty) and we saw him at walking at the street and we should get closer to saw him. Although it was very cold, he did not matter.

As an interesting fact, I leave you a sample of our healthy diet during our stay in New York. Enjoy our performance of our Gregorian singing ;). 

I hope that you have enjoyed my particular summary of our travel to the Big Apple, although I have shown you only a little. If you are planning to visit it, I recommend you to be prepared to walk, to walk much more than in your whole lives.

Jokes apart, I think that if you have the possibility of travel to NYC, you must do it at least once in your lives, it has so much to offer us…

Here I say goodbye… Well, we say goodbye to whole of you guys. Thanks for your time and your attention.
