3rd Day - Wednesday 9th September by Júlia Arbós

Today we've woken up at 8:00 o'clock, we have bought some breakfast and we have gone to rent 17 bikes to ride a bike along Central Park for an hour. Then we have walked around the park (not all the park because it's so huge), and we have seen a lake inside it that was so huge and beautiful. Inside the park we have seen the "love bridge" and the "John Lennon's place" that is a kind of place, like a mosaic with an inscription on the ground that says "Imagine", the name of his song talking about peace and it was full of flowers.

After all that we have gone to the 5th avenue, which is a street full of expensive shops, and there close to Times Square we have eaten a burger. Then we have taken a subway to Coney Island, the typical place where new yorkers used to go at the summer holidays as there is a long beach there. While travelling to that famous beach by subway, it started to rain heavily and as we were inside the train, no one got wet although there were big pools on the streets but soon the sun shone again, and once we arrived there, it stopped raining although we could see big floods everywhere in Coney Island. There we could visit an amusement arcade park with lots of rides and a beautiful beach full o birds. A man put a snake at the neck of one of our friends Biel and a reptile like a kind of iguana on the hands of another one, Dana. We have been to the first hot dog restaurant, the original one, the inventor Nathan's and some of the students ate there, but it was so expensive. (one hot dog 4.15$ = 3'72Euro).

After we've seen Coney Island we have gone on subway to the Rockefeller Center, which is like the rich zone of NYC where rich people were having dinner while they listening to the orchestra. There's a lot of expensive shops too. Then we have seen Saint Patricks cathedral and after that we've had some free time from 8:00 to 10:00 pm, so we've gone shopping (that have been in the Empire State 5th Avenue). 

Finally we have gone to the Brooklyn bridge by night, but we were so tired so we've stayed there for a short time and we've gone to the hotel because tomorrow we're going to Virginia at 7:00 am to meet our families. We've enjoyed NYC so much and I hope some day I can go back there.
