Today we did a lot of things again! First things first: The Empire State Building!! We went through the giant lobby up to the 86th floor. From there we had an amazing view.
You could even see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I honestly expected them to be bigger. Ellis Island was like a speck in the harbor!
After the Empire State Building we went to the great Grand Central Station. The Main Hall alone was really big! We ate lunch and had some free time to explore.
Next was Wall Street and the Financial District. After a little tour through this district, our group walked over the entire Brooklyn Bridge.
The view over the East River and of the skyline from New York was one of the most enjoyable things today.
In the neighboorhood called "SoHo", we enjoyed the rest of the day. SoHo is like a big mall - only outside. Souvenirs and clothes shopping was really fun!
For dinner we went to Chinatown. The restaurant was really big and we were part of two weddings in one place!
I cannot believe that I am leaving New York in two days! New York is such an amazing city!
