A little bit more about New York

As you all can see we love NY. Just being over there is enough to make us relax. Watch people walking in the streets, lots of stores and markets and a very huge and efficient public transport system are some of those things that make us enjoy NY.

NY City is also nice because it shelters the old and the new in harmony: some very huge and modern buildings are placed together with some old and also huge constructions. This is the kind of beauty you can find in NY.

We arrived in NY crossing the George Washington Bridge and soon we took the subway to take the cable car (aerial tramway) that connects Roosevelt Island to Manhattan. From the tram we could enjoy a little bit of NY view.

PLAY!

At night we walked around 5th Avenue and Times Square where we could find the Toys R Us super store. Inside this store there is a T-rex dinosaur and a ferris wheel where Alice and I took a round.

Just have a look at what else we found over there for sale. Value? $749.99!!!!!!


We could compare this Pele jersey to the others famous stuff and observe that Pele is very well quoted.

At the end of the day we had dinner in a Romanian restaurant close to our hotel. Alice was exhausted!

The day next we went to the Liberty Island to have a closer look at the Liberty Lady! It was Alice’s request for us.

From the Island we could see the beauty of Manhattan.

Later we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge was built in 1883, is 5,989 feet (1825 m) long and crosses the East River connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn. You can either cross it walking or by car. It is a very beautiful construction and one of NY City symbols.

The nest day was raining then we spent most of the time inside the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Alice had lots of fun.

Look to the size of this snake - Unbelievable!

And we had fun too.

In the evening we went to a Spanish restaurant in Greenwich village (that Selmo was missing since he had moved out of NY) to have mussels and salmon. It was delicious!

Later we just walked around the World Trade center area and Wall Street.

On Sunday morning Alice found her Easter basket and we left NY!

It was a pleasure has Selmo’s company.
Thanks Selmo!
