New York day 4

Today we went to Ellen's Stardust Diner for breakfast. The diner is special because all of the waiters and waitresses can sing and dance to lots of songs, and you can request songs to be sung. It was super cool. It was probably my favorite part of the trip so far, tied only with the dinner that we had later that night.

After breakfast we went to the Museum of Natural History. It was crazy huge, and really interesting. 

Then we went to Central Park and rode bikes all the way around it. That was really fun, and I found it funny that it was basically a little island of carefully controlled "nature" in the midst of all the pollution and skyscrapers and noise.

For dinner we met up with Oma and Opa (grandma and grandpa) in a restaurant called The View, which is a two-story rotating restaurant. It was the coolest thing, tied for my favorite part of this trip with Ellen's Stardust Diner. Basically there was a skyscraper that was a hotel and this restaurant bought the top two floors and somehow made it so the outer ring, where the tables and such are, rotates. It was really neat. The lighting wasn't very good because of atmosphere and all that, but I tried to take pictures of all the weird fancy food they served us.

There was also a chocolate fountain. It was awesome. 

Sadly, aunt Claudia and uncle Ralph and Dominic and Lara and I leave tomorrow night so we get home in time to go back to school.
