New York day 5 and back to Switzerland

So I am beyond confused how long it has been since the last blog post and if this constitutes as one day or two or what i have no clue.

Anyway, the last day in New York was just as awesome as the rest. The only thing was that my dad was sick, so he missed out on seeing stuff. Anyways, the last day Lara and I did a little bit of shopping. Yay girly stuff... And then Gage and mom and I walked around and visited Grand Central Station and the city library.

That evening aunt Claudia and uncle Ralph and Dominic and Lara and I went to the airport and got on the plane back to Switzerland. The flight was through the night, which was nice, but also not nice, because I only slept about 4 hours. However, there was an adorable little boy in the seat next to me who looked like a younger version of Gage and who fell asleep on my arm during the flight. He was adorable.

We arrived around 10 am Swiss time, ate lunch, then I went home and unpacked and cleaned up. Lara and I went for a walk later in the day before dinner and hung out in a park.

At the moment it is pretty late but I can't sleep so I decided to blog. My dad and mom and Gage should arrive right around this time, so goodnight!

New York day 3!

Today we got up and went to the 9/11 memorial museum. It was super foggy on the way there. 

The museum was pretty depressing but also very interesting.

We went to lunch, then walked the highline trail, which is a walkway above the ground and through some buildings by the river. It was gorgeous!

Then we went to meet Oma and Opa (grandma and grandpa) for dinner. They were on a cruise for the past few days on a ship called the Queen Mary from London to New York. 

New York day 2

Today we went to breakfast, then got on a bus tour thing around Manhattan. 

We then went over the Brooklyn bridge to Brooklyn, walked back across the bridge, and visited the 9/11 memorial. 

Then we went on a ferry over to Staten Island and passed by the Statue of Liberty. This is my favorite picture from today.

We visited the U.N. building and drove past Radio City, which was cool. There was a traffic jam at one point during the day because there was an accident in front of us.

We went to dinner:

And then to the top of Rockefeller center:

New York!

Our flight was 9 hours, direct from Zurich to New York. It was actually really nice, because I happened to get two seats to myself and they gave us food, which doesn't always happen. 

We arrived, then spent a good two hours on a bus into New York City proper. We got off at Times Square, and our hotel is only two blocks away, so we have the coolest view.

Then we dropped off our stuff in the hotel and went searching for some food. We got dinner and then went back to the hotel, where we met up with my mom and dad and Gage, because they came in on a flight two hours later.

Then they went to get something to eat, and aunt Claudia and uncle Ralph and Dominic and Lara went to bed, because we have a six hour time difference, so we basically experienced a really long day. I was awake for 22 hours. *blinks tiredly*

Gage wanted to go to the M&M store, so I went with them and we wandered around through the store and got some M&M's. Yay!

Packing

Today I packed and cleaned up the house. So very very exciting. But we leave tomorrow morning for New York ahhhh I'm so excited!!!

I'm sleeping over at Lara's so we can get an early start tomorrow. Woop we watched a german movie and it was cool. It was called "Fak yu Goethe". Which means f you Goethe in very bad Swiss-german. Which, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the topic of the movie, but it was fun. 

Sundayyy

Today I basically just hung out with Lara and did some packing for New York and started cleaning my room. Lara and I also went exploring in a park.

Only one more day until New York! :)

Such exciting vacation stuff

Today I cleaned up my room and helped my grandparents finish up their packing... They leave tomorrow morning super early. (Actually this morning-oops)

Super excited for New York! I can't wait:)

Chocolate

Today I went shopping in Zurich for chocolate and such for my friends back home. It was fun, although having a bunch of chocolate in my room makes me constantly hungry.

I also Skyped with three of my friends:) I miss you so much Kiley, Rose, and Stephanie. And everyone else. Only about two weeks until New York! 

Tomorrow I'm going to church with my grandma and then doing more homework. Yay only one more week until vacation!

Friday! Week 6!

Today I had school... the usual... and after school I went to Lara's. Her friend Leah grows really fast and is really tall so she gives a lot of hand-me-downs to Lara, and if Lara doesn't like them, she gives them to me. So I got some new clothes! Yippee!

Tomorrow I'm going to do homework and go buy chocolate and presents and such to bring to New York in a few weeks to give to my friends and family. :)
