New York again/de nuevo

Back in new York. I love this city. I could live here!
So, back in New York, for almost 6 days. What did I do? Let's see...
Museums: MOMA, which is the Museum of Modern Art, awesome!! Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum, also excellent both.
I walked all along Brooklyn Bridge, it was a beautiful day, and the views of the city (Manhattan) from Brooklyn are great. It gives you a perspective of things, the Statue of Liberty is TINY when compared to the huge skyscrapers!! I walked around Wall Street area (and had a typical hot dog from a street vendor), and went to the World Financial Centre and the Museum on the 9/11 Memorial Renovation Site. I went up the Empire State Building. The view of the city is absolutely spectacular, it's awesome to see it in daytime but even better at nighttime, the lights are just incredibly beautiful.
I spent another day walking around Central Park. It's been said before, I know, but can't help myself: it's HUGE! It has baseball fields, lakes, ponds, lawns, a carrousel, even bloody traffic lights! I saw Strawberry Fields of course, the memorial to John Lennon, and right across the street from it the Dakota Building, where he was murdered.
On my last full day I finally went to the Statue of Liberty. It was supposed to be a rainy day, but the Statue of Libertad was all booked for weeks except for these 3 rainy days, so I chose to go the least rainy day according to the weather forecast. Turns out the weather forecast was wrong as they generally are, and it didn't rain at all, and even though it was overcast during much of the day, there were moments when it was actually sunny, so I was so lucky! Took heaps of pictures of course. I couldn't go all the way up to the top, to the crown (they are again allowing a very limited number of people to go up) cause that is booked for months, but I went up to the top of the pedestal on which the Statue of Liberty stands- and it's so small that in fact the pedestal itself is the same size as the Statue is! So I can say I got halfway up:)
On the 28th I met up with Floppy for lunch- she's a friend from Uni and after several failed attempts at meeting up in New York we managed to see each other at least for a couple of hours before I left for the airport, and I met her cute daughter Valentina.
And apart from that, hanging out with Agustina and her flatmates at night time, talking shit and watching weird movies:)

De vuelta en Nueva York. Amo esta ciudad, podria vivir aca!
Asi que de vuelta en Nueva York, por casi 6 dias. Que hice? A ver...
Museos: MOMA, que es el Museo de Arte Moderno, buenisimo!!! Museo Metropolitano de Arte, y el Museo Guggenheim, tambien los 2 buenisimos.
Camine todo a lo largo del Puente de Brooklyn, era un dia lindisimo y al vista de la ciudad (Manhattan) desde Brooklyn es lindisima. Te da una buena perspectiva, la Estatua de la Libertad es MINI a comparacion de los rascacielos gigantes!! Camine por la zona de Wall Street (y comi un tipico hot dog de un verdedor de la calle), y fui al World Financial Centre y al Museo de conmemoracion del 11 de Septiembre, con los planes de lo que van a hacer con el lugar. Subi al Empire State Building. La visa de la ciudad es totalmente espectacular, es increible verla de dia, pero aun mejor de noche, las luces son increiblemente hermosas.
Pase otro dia caminando por Central Park. Ya han dicho esto antes, lo se, pero no puedo evitarlo: es ENORME! Tiene canchas de baseball, lagos, lagunas, parques, una calesita, hasta semaforos!! Vi Strawberry Fields por supuesto, el memorial a John Lennon y cruzando la calle el edificio Dakota, donde lo mataron.
En mi ultimo dia entero, finalmente fui a la Estatua de la Libertad. Se suponia que iba a ser un dia de lluvia, pero la Estatua de la Libertad estaba todo bookeada por semanas excepto por estos 3 dias de lluvia, asi que elegi para ir el dia menos lluvioso segun el pronostico del tiempo. Resulto que el pronostico del tiempo estuvo equivocado como suele suceder y no llovio para nada, y aunque estuvo nublado durante la mayor parte del dia hubo momentos cuando hasta salio el sol, asi que tuve mucha suerte! Saque un monton de fotos obviamente. No pude subir arriba de todo, hasta la corona (estan otra vez dejando gente subir arriba de todo, pero numero muy limitado) porque eso esta bookeado por meses, pero subi hasta la parte de arriba del pedestal donde esta parada la Estatua de la Libertad- y es tan chica que de hecho el pedestal es del mismo tamano que la Estatua! Asi que puedo decir que subi hasta la mitad:)
El 28 me encontre con Floppy a almorzar- es una amiga de la facultad y despues de varios intentos fallidos de encontrarnos en Nueva York logramos vernos al menos por un par de horas antes de que me fuera para el aeropuerto, y conoci a su hija Valentina, divina.
Y ademas de eso, pase tiempo con Agustina y sus companeros de casa durante las noches, boludeando y mirando peliculas extranas:)
