"Everybody wants to go to NY!"

One year ago, my parents told to me that in summer'10 we're going to NY. This moment I was very, very happy.

I think that everybody wants to go to NY. Is the city of our dreams.
It's a different city: it has a lot of skyscreapers, shops, musicals, theatres, museums, restaurants... and the people, especially the people there is very friendly.

The first time I saw Times Square was very impressionant. All was light. Light, light and more light. And a lot of people too.
And when I went up to the Empire State. I could looked all the city of my dreams. The skyscreapers, central Park, the streets, yellow taxis...

I want to remember my excursion in Central Park with a bike. All was green, trees, grass... I think that every city needs to have this park. Into, you think that you are in a village. But you are in a city with 8 Milion people!

Also, I enjoyed when I saw by boat the Statue of Liberty. It was beautiful. And I was excited to see that sign represented the freedom of a nation.

And Mamma Mia and Jazz, the rich theatre and the good music.

Finally, I want to remember the enourmous public Library. This is a library. When I saw it, I through: I never see a library since today.

NYC a great city. A city that I want to go another time. And another... I'm never tired about NY.

Wait me! Marc Tolrà
