2 day in NY

Jet lag.. the only reason why i woke up at 4.30 am yesterday.I didn't want to sleep anymore.That's why i decided to go to the shore and see the sunrise. Kinda romantic. But it started to rain. 
That's why we had to get back home as fast as it was only possible. But on my way i've noticed sooo many cats and most of them were very thin. With big grey eyes.
That day we had lots of things to see... First of all we had to get to Manhatan.
We had to find the road to Queensboro bridge. 
That's when i realise that it's impossible to drive here if you don't know the city.
30 mins later we finally found that bridge.
When we were in Manhatan i was speechless. That was the true beaty. Big houses, tiny streets, many yellow taxes, many shops and.... dozens of people:)
I love this sign. I wish we had something like this in Moscow. (p.s. but is seems that in the evening nobody cares about this sign here)
Than there was a next problem: where to park a car. in the morning.on sunday.We didn't find a place and we decided to get to parking.
We bought tickets on cruise to Satue of Liberty (there was one more stop to Ellis Island, but we were so tired that we decided to get back to Manhatan after Statue of Liberty).
Well, if I say that it was overcrowded there, it wouldn't show you the real picture.i thought there were HUNDREDS of tourists....
The biggest challenge: true to take a picture with the view on Statue of Liberty without a guy who is taking a picture of himself with the same background :)
I was soo tired when we got to Satue of Liberty... it was so hot that i could feel my make-up melting lol and everywhere the was a crowd of people. i had only one desire: to get out of here as fast as it's only possible...But i found one pros: awesome gift shop!
After visiting Staue of Liberty we wandered the streets... 
And than we realised that we forgot where we had parked our car.I was soo tired and we walked the way again and again.
30 mins later we FOUND IT!!!
Everybody was so hungry that we headed towards China town where we wanted to try Chinese food. 
What a place! I was fascinated by little shops with strange fruits.
...and everywhere there were signs in chinese...
We found one little restaurant where the menu was also in chinese. lol 
But the food was rather tasty, but the dish was enormous!
Later we headed towards our last point: Central Park.


I'm on love with place. It was depicted in so many films! "Home Alone 2", "Serendipity"...
But unfortunately we didn't spend a lot of time there...I wish we could've stayed more...
There we tried strange ice cream.. it was ice with some juice.. and if you wanna eat it you should.. suck the juice)

This place is really important for our family, 'cause in 1974 my grandparents, my uncle and my dad used to live near this place.
It was time to get back home, but on our way home my uncle decided to show us some attractions..
...and we faced some problems connected with traffic. Trafic jams... 
Damn! There are so many common things :)
When we were finally at home, nobody wanted to eat... just sleep...
