Let's hear it for New York!

Hi dear classmates!

I went to New York, USA, in 2007, after I graduated from 8th grade. I have relatives living there, not in New York City, but in Westchester, which is a county located at the north of the Manhattan island. That (Chilean) summer, my grand aunt and grand uncle came here to a wedding and, when they left, they took me with them. I spent two months there, half December, January and half February. Yes, I spent Christmas and New Year's Eve too. 

I went to Manhattan almost everyday, it was like 30-45 minutes from Westchester by train. During the "trip" to the city, you could visualize all the different landscapes on the way. 

I have to say this, I couldn't visit as many places as I wanted to, because of the very low temperatures that city has in winter. And unfortunately, the day I could see a little bit of snow, it looked like powder sugar on the grass from my bedroom's window. When I woke up the next day, the snow was gone, so I realized I should've gone out to play with it when I could. It snowed the day before I arrived and the day after I left. I guess the snow didn't want to share some time with me. 

Here's me @ Rockefeller Center Ice Skating Rink, and you can see the Chilean flag  :)

And me again, with the Manhattan Island as a background

These holidays were very important to me because I had the chance to meet, not just a new place but a part of my family that I didn't know before, except by pictures.

I really think I will have the opportunity to go back there, and see all the things I couldn't see that time. Central Park is more beautiful in summer than in winter.
