Hola, chicos! We are four girls from Spain and Mexico and we just finished our second day in New York City!

To start the day, we went to the Empire State Building. Feeling on top of the world we took pictures and enjoyed a place where you can listen to a thousand different languages around you because everybody can enjoy this view. From the 86th floor you can see a little version of the Statue of Liberty and understand why we all love ‘the city that never sleeps.’

On top of the world!
Afterwards, we visited Grand Central Station and its famous ceiling where you can see stars in a very different way. A little bit of free time for lunch and a walk through 5th Avenue. We all shop in Prada and Lous Vuitton (we wish!) and then we get to the bus. Destination: the Brooklyn bridge!

We get out of the bus in the financial district. Learning a little bit of history around Wall Street we walked around the most famous places and spent some time trying to understand how 9/11 really was. We will come back in a couple years to see that awesome memorial finished, we’ll see you there!

Where it all happens...
1.3 miles of Brooklyn bridge. The view and our pictures were worth all that walking.

Bus time again and new destination: Soho! The place where the whole world shops! We walked around for two hours. Spending time with our new friends we were feeling like a real New Yorker.

We met at 7:30. Time for dinner! Chinatown is amazing. You will feel like you are in China just a couple blocks away from Soho. A really fun dinner spending more and more time with our friends from all around the world and we were ready to come back.

A lot of walking and a lot of fun, some singing in the bus and we were back in the hotel. It was such and awesome day that we will never forget. Looking forward for an awesome day tomorrow too!
