SATURDAY!!!

Our first day in New York City was just amazing. All the places we heard about were actually real, it was unbelievable seeing these places in front of our eyes, and was one of the most wonderful things ever. At the state library, we met our tour guide, Garret, such of cool guy! He showed us Central Park, St. John’s Cathedral, Columbia University; he gave us a lot of information about these places and we learned a lot of them, but the best thing about him was that he explained everything to us with humor, passion, fantasy, and making us laugh throughout the whole tour.

The MET is one of the most amazing museums, with pieces of art from all over the world, just like us, and we could learn about other cultures and countries’  art, some of which we didn’t even know about.

Walking down 5^th avenue was so much fun, even if we couldn’t buy anything (Gucci, Bulgari, Louis Vuitton etc. are kind of expensive, but gifts are always appreciated). In addition, some girls took pictures with a really HOT model from “Abercrombie & Fitch”, whose abs and back were AMAZING and of course, he got us a little bit nervous and fascinated at the same time.

Next stop: Hard Rock Café!! Great place to see and learn about the history of the Rock ‘ n’ Roll, the food was really good and the music too. Our group was probably the loudest in the whole café, we sang, took funny pics of Arielle, laughed like crazy and spit pieces of napkin with our straws like 8 year-old kids.

After our awesome dinner, we finally got the opportunity to explore Time Square, take photos, selfies, buy candies, go to toy stores etc. The worst thing is that we almost got late at the bus because of a extremely slow cashier at “Walgreens”, so we had to run faster than Bolt to get to the bus right in time. We will never forget this time there, it was wonderful and like in the movies; people everywhere, lights, voices, caring of your friends and trying to not get lost haha.
