4th Day Sunday 9th September - New York by Blanca Palau



Our 4th day started waking up at 7am. After being all ready, we decided to take the subway close to Harlem street. While we were walking we saw the Columbia university, it was so big and a bit different from the ones in Spain! At 9.30 we arrived at the church, we waited for the church because it was starting at 10. For our surprise, just behind us there was a Catalan couple so the wait became funny with them. It was an amazing service and they sang pretty good, but it wasn't allowed to take photos inside. I would love to see them singing again!
Once the service was finished we went to have brunch. I decided to have an amazing strawberry crepe. After that we took a subway directly to Conney Island. There we saw a huge amusement park, the one that usually appears in Americans films, and of course I took a lot of amazing pictures. We had lunch in a fancy restaurant and there we celebrated Oana's birthday. She was so happy! Later at night, we enjoyed the views of the Empire State from down the street, with all the lights. After that we went shopping for some souvenirs. 


Finally, that night we went to Times Square again to see all the shops and we bought a few souvenirs more  . We all love shopping!  Thereafter we ate some dinner and at the end of our night we went back to our hotel, because the next day we would have to get up so early. We were going to meet our American host families for the next sixteen days.
