Ny New York Trip


11-5-07

Today I arrived at New York City! Today the day started very early for us...This morning we woke up at 3:00 a.m. to go to New York. I felt very tired, so did my family. At 6:35, we got to the airport. We ate breakfast in the airport. I remember where we ate breakfast. It was a Starbucks Coffee. I drank chocolate milk and I ate a chocolate croissant. Of course, my brother did eat and drink chocolate too. Later on, we got on the plane. It took 4 hours and 45 minutes to get to New York. I did many things on the plane. I watched TV. looked outside the window and listened to my mp3.
We finally arrived to JFK busy airport, and we went in a taxi all the way to our hotel. Our hotel is located on Queens Blvd. Queens is one of the fifth boroughs of New York City. After we arrived at the hotel, we got ready to go eat. We ate at a Colombian restaurant. The food was good. After that, we went on the subway to Manhattan. There were many lights. I loved it!

11-6-07

Today we had so much fun. I started the day by eating breakfast in a Chinese bakery. I ate a normal croissant and a hot chocolate. After we ate breakfast, we went on the subway to go to the American Museum of Natural History. It was amazing! We saw a Planetarium presentation. The movie was called Cosmic Collisions. I really enjoyed it. I learned all about the meteors, plants, and a lot about earth. After all that, we went to Central Park and walked around. We ran into a place called Strawberry Fields and John Lennon's memorial, where John Lennon was killed. We also saw the building where he lived. It was really sad. John Lennon's memorial was covered in flowers and there was a guitar next to it. It was pretty. We had New York pizza afterwards.
Then, we headed to Broadway! We saw the amazing musical Grease. It was wonderful. The music was in my head the whole time. The dancing was tremendous. I tried to dance like that with my brother too. We bought the soundtrack and sing along to it. I got to meet the cast and took pictures with them.
Finally, it was time to leave. We ate a great diner. It was delicious. I ordered a grill cheese sandwich. It was really good! I wish I could go there again!

11-7-07

Today was an awesome day! I wish you were here! The first thing that I did was go out to eat breakfast. We ate at another bakery. I ate pineapple bread and iced tea. It was good! Later on, we went to the Empire State Building. I was so amazed by how many floors there were. There were 102 floors! We couldn't go all the way up, only up to 82. I really enjoyed it! I could see everything from there! The statue of Liberty looked so small from up there. It was cold and windy, but beautiful. Next on our journey, we ate hot dogs before going on a cruise ship to go to the Statue of Liberty. I thought the hot dogs were delicious. Then, we got on the ship. I saw a girl that looked like me, my mom called her my "nemesis". It was funny! The ship was big. We had lots of time to take pictures. We sat outside to take better pictures. I thought everything was so beautiful. They put music on, like "New York, New York by Frank Sinatra. We saw the Statue of Liberty up close. It was much bigger than I thought. It was 62 ft. high. After the cruise, we took a cab to Little Italy. We ate delicious Italian food in a small Italian restaurant named Benito’s. We ate spaghetti, shrimp scampi and fettuccini Alf redo. Then cheesecake and cookies for desert.

11-8-07

Another busy day in NYC. Landmarks that we visited today were, Brooklyn Bridge, World Trade Center and many old buildings. One building that we went to was the building in which George Washington gave his inaugural speech. There was a huge statue of him in front of the building. It was on Wall Street. We also went to the World Trade Center, or Ground Zero. The World Trade Center were the buildings that were destroyed by two airplanes. There were 3,000 people killed that day. The city of New York is going to construct a new building that is called the Freedom Tower. It will be the tallest building in the United States, even bigger than the Empire State building.
In front of the World Trade Center, there was a church that survived the blast from the tower collapsing. We felt very sad. We felt this way because we saw photos of all the people who died. It was powerful.
We were very hungry after that visit. We ate in a cafeteria. The cafeteria was amazing. There were thousands and thousands of types of food. I served myself salad and five pot stickers. Then I ate a delicious soup.
Then we took a walk along the Brooklyn Bridge. It wasn't so long. It was kind of short for me. The view of the city was awesome. That evening we strolled all the way to beautiful Brooklyn. We went to shopping there. It was magical.
11-9-07

Today was so awesome! It was really rainy. We went to a lot of museums.
The first thing that we did was go to the United Nations. The United Nations is an organization that is made up of all the countries of the world. They get together to try to solve problems of the world like hunger, poverty and other problems. They also took a photo of my brother and me and made a U.N. stamp with our faces. After that, we went to a museum called the Guggenheim. It's famous for the design of building and art. The inside is six stories high. It goes around in a cylinder shape. When we went to the Guggenheim, they were in the middle of painting it yellow on the outside.
Then, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Met. It was very beautiful. There was ancient art from Egypt, Rome, Greece and Europe. We loved that museum. It was the best one yet. You could spend days in that museum. There were lots of people and very exciting. The art was tremendous.
It was raining that day, so we decided to go see a movie. I wanted to see The Bee Movie. I liked it because it was made in New York, and we were able to recognize all the places in the movie. It was really cool! You know what was really weird? There were no kids in the theatre! It was all adults, some even with tattoos! It was funny.
Then we walked in the rain towards uptown to shop for a purse that I wanted. The purse says, "I heart New York!” We also bought the necessary things to make my costume of The Statue of Liberty for next year's Halloween. We ate roasted nuts from the street vendors and had lots of fun!
11-10-07

Today is our last day here, so we couldn't waste time. We went to Coney Island in the subway. It took an hour to get there. Coney Island is an old fair that is famous for its boardwalk. Unfortunately, we got lost there, and the fair was closed. It's only open in the summer. We went back to the city and we visited NYU. We went to Washington Square next to the university. It was a wonderful university. There were lots of things happening. We went to the NYU bookstore. I loved it.
We then went to a street fair where they sold many things. I ate a kebob and an arepa. There were lots of kabob vendors all over the place. The smell was great. There were lots of international foods. Then we rushed to make it to the museum of Modern Art, which closed in one hour. We made it in time. We saw the famous Van Gogh’s, Picasso’s, Matisse, and Warhol’s' works of art. It was amazing! There were lots of people everywhere.

Next, we visited Saint Patrick's cathedral and passed Rockefeller’s Center. We saw the biggest Christmas tree in the United States. It was not decorated yet, but they were getting it ready. We did final shopping for little things for my friends.
Our day ended with a magical show at Radio City Music Hall. The show was called "Christmas Spectacular". They were celebrating 75 years of the Rockettes! The show was wonderful because I loved the Rockette's clothes and their dancing. They all looked the same, like robots! I couldn't believe it. They made no mistakes when they danced. The music was live, with a huge big band. Part of the show was in 3D and we were given lights to light up the theatre. It was incredible! I'll never forget it.
Right before we went back to Queens, we went back to Times Square one last time. We went to the biggest toy store in the country. There was an indoor Farris wheel and a huge computerized dinosaur. We were so tired by then. We got back on the subway and said goodbye to NYC.

Final Comments: I thought New York was so beautiful. I am very proud to be an American because of all the great things I saw in this great city, especially the Statue of Liberty. I loved that all the people were immigrants, speak different languages, and get along very well. I want to go back as soon as can be!

My report on Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a beutiful, light blue crystal, usually used as jewerly.

There are many interdesting details about the Aquamarine.

First, the Aquamarine is a type of a crystal. It is made of minerals such as morganite and beryl.

Beryls are popular as gems because of their fine color. Minerals have a chemical combination that determines what shape it is going to have. just as our genes determine color of our hair. Crystals are minerals that have had a chance to grow into the shape that they were meant to be.

Aquamarine means "sea water". It is the birthstone ascociated in

march.
