For the past 4 months, I've been waking up at 6 AM for work. And today, my body glitched, telling me: 'Hey, babe, you don't want to sleep at all.' Waking up this early wasn't the best idea because my girls were sleeping so sweetly, dead to the world. That's logical after last night.)

Anyway... At least now I know where the washing machine, iron, and vacuum cleaner are. All the most necessary things. :D

But around 9, my time came, we all woke up)) Starbucks was waiting for us with open arms. As usual, a line and nowhere to sit. I don't like this place because of that... But damn, their coffee and pastries are awesome. ^^

Then a map, lots of steps, lots of impressions, photos, souvenirs, shows, crowds, dancing, people, music, boutiques, no time............

At the very beginning of our mini-trip, we got lost.) But we quickly rehabilitated and found the right path to Central Park. A huge area with green lawns, lots of trees, monuments, ponds, and fountains. And also a huge number of people running, jumping, and working out. Just a ton of them.

I admit I didn't get any special impressions from Central Park. Yes, it's beautiful and interesting, but something is off, something is not quite right. I want more. Maybe we just walked through the wrong part of the park, we'll make up for it tomorrow.)

Walking out into the city, onto Fifth Avenue. God... These majestic buildings... Stretching to some incredible height. What can I describe? Nothing. You have to see it, you have to feel it. ^^

Lots of people, like, sooo many. Just can't breathe, they are everywhere, just thick and fast. I used to think Moscow was a city that's always in a hurry... Definitely not!! The only downside in New York that I've been able to find so far.)

Times Square... Hello, heart of New York. Various animated characters, living statues, dancing, shows. It's a fun, unusual, and beautiful place. You have to visit it, you just have to.)

We spent the evening at a pizzeria. God, the huge slices they make, like half a big pizza of ours. It's crazy. I walked out like a little bubble, haha) Thanks to Brittany and Shawn for the great cafe and atmosphere.)

Then we returned to our hostel and played charades on the first floor. Haha. It was something ;)

Laughed my heart out. :D

My legs are driving me crazy.

Lots of plans and little time, it's so cruel. :(

Saw the subway from the inside for the first time, I'll tell you one thing - Moscow is number one! You won't find a gloomier subway in the world. (I'm talking about New York). Terribly ugly...(

Walked along 42nd Avenue and bought tickets for an awesome cruise. All the sights from the water, it's wonderful! These high-rise buildings, majestic bridges, Empire, Rockefeller, Statue of Liberty...

We made a huge circle, went around all of Manhattan. Great impressions and memories. The only downside - on the way back there wasn't much interesting... monotonous houses, and by the way, lots of greenery. But overall the trip was a success. It's cool!)

Then we followed to the bull. Yes, yes, that very one. Haha. It's huge. And for those who don't know, there is a statue of a running bronze (gold) bull in New York. It's located in the financial district of NY, and there is a superstition that if you rub its private parts, dollars will arrive in your wallet.)) People love fairy tales.

Walking through the streets of New York, we found an unusual fence in the shape of different little people. And cities are signed under each one. At first, we didn't understand the point, but later we guessed that these are the icons on traffic lights, meaning 'go'. Cool!)

Late in the evening, we went to the Rockefeller observation deck. Goooood, guys, it's so, so... Divine. So unusually beautiful. And scary, because unfortunately, I'm afraid of heights. But daaaamn, it's very cool. Already in the elevator, a show awaited us on the ceiling, and in 33 seconds we were rushed to the 67th floor. But later we went even higher, aaaaaaaa!!!) I'm thrilled. Then such an adventure awaited us...

Walking through Times Square, we stumbled upon a brilliant performance. A man was painting pictures using spray cans in just five minutes. Yes, even in less time. These paintings are simply brilliant. I liked it a lot. And he himself is amazing!)

While watching the show, we met some Russian guys. Haha. We'll find our own everywhere.))
