agroove . I knew that groove was in your heart

get it? dos? spanish? ya im so smrt

actually the trip was quite long and i actually dont really remember what i did on day 4 – 8, they say people usually remember the first and last thing of … things you do, so i remember day 9, but ya, for now i’ll refer to my google cal to refresh my memory…

looks like i kinda left of at end of day 2, SO, day 3, i’m pretty sure we didn’t do what we originally planned to do on monday which is go to Top of the Rock, MoMA (museum of modern art) and Grand Central station, i think we actually switched with wednesday’s schedule, so let’s stick with that

monday – day 3, we went to the American History Museum in the morning, walked in from the space museum entrance actually, and watched a space show starring whoopi goldberg first thing, then walked around this massive 5 floor animal/dinosaur museum, this is where they filmed a night in the museum movie with ben stiller, and this museum is pretty awesome, super cool animals models, giant dino bones, we took like 5 hrs to walk through this place, which is a lot longer than originally scheduled, and… i actually have no idea what we did after this wow, i’ll have to come back to this day in the next post

tuesday – day 4, we woke up earlier because we wanted to go take the cruise to go see statue of liberty and ellis island, first boat leaves at 830 so we tried to wake up at 730, of course that didn’t happen and we got there at 930 instead, and there was a huge line up already (just like every other touristy thing in NYC), good thing for our city pass we get to skip most of the line ups and go straight to security line up – they check your like you’re going on the plane, xray, metal detector, belts off, everything, and then you go on a boat! the statue was actually smaller than i expected, got to go inside and look at the history of building the statue, and… that’s pretty much it, what else am i gonna say, it’s a giant green statue, go look at my flickr pics later. Next off to ellis island, this is the immigrants first stop before go into US back in the days, now it’s another museum, showing how people get into the US, most came in, some did not, either they were sick or not fit to work etc, and gets shipped back to where they came from, also ate pretzel with mustard for the first time, because apparently it’s the thing to do, and it wasn’t very tasty, especially the pretzel was like the saltiest pretzel ever made in life. After the tour (btw statue and ellis island tour takes about 4 – 5 hrs depending how long you stay at each spot), we went to look for the famous bull statue in wall street since we were already downtown/financial district (?), we took the subway up for 1 stop to go to wall st, and ended up walking back to where we got on the subway b/c that’s where the bull statue is! sigh, and there’s 349832 people waiting to take pics, so i also took pic of them until i took a pic of racquelle lol. We watched lion king that night, our first broadway show, and it was awesome, i totally recommend everyone to go watch it when it’s here in vancouver in july

at least that’s what i think what we did in day 4… btw i totally recommend the city pass to anyone’s first time visit to NYC, totally save money and line skipping is the freaking best thing, pair it with 1 week subway pass, you’re all set for being a tourist
