24 hours a navel of the world

Am Dienstag morgen um fuenf Uhr in North Canton, Ohio losgefahren, kamen wir dann endlich nach achteinhalb Stunden Autofahrt auf dem amerikanischen Highway und nur zwei kurzen Stopps um halb zwei in New York City, NY an. Dann dauerte es nocheinmal eine halbe Stunde (was fuer die Grossstadtverhaeltnisse ziehmlich schnell war), bis wir unser wunderbares Hotel am Timesquare im had found the heart of Manhattan.

"We" are the way, my host parents, Pam and Paul, and checked my Gastbrueder Chris and Pat at the hotel, we met Alan and Peter, two other family members who live in Boston, MA. Alan is aircraft pilot by profession and is therefore very much around in the world. So it was that he offered us a unique city tour through Manhattan. We started our little journey, at Times Square, then visited St. Patrick's Cathedral and made us finally to the "Top of the Rock", the highest buildings of Rockefeller Center. At the foot of the skyscraper was the famous skating ring, with the big Christmas tree. had from the viewing platform high above New York we have a wonderful view of Big Apple - would say as the New Yorker. We arrived just at the right time for one of the most beautiful sunsets to be seen. After dinner we strolled around the city then.

The next morning we went out again very early. I had my first night at the navel of the world behind me. After a aussgezeichneten breakfast (for the first time in five months, there were rolls and croissants: D), we took the New York subway to downtown Manhattan to Ground Zero, where seven years before the two were Zwillingstuerme of the World Trade Center. From there it was then not far to our ferry, which sailed to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Iceland over. After I then last of all in Seconds or postcards had found (except in world metropolises like New York City, there are here in America, namely no ...) we do we are on our journey to Rhode Iceland and the east coast of the United States.

have in the past 24 hours I experienced so much, that I first have to process everything. I drove about 1000 miles and have crossed half the U.S., only to come to the city of cities. This is one of the experiences to which I will remember still ...
