The flight from Paris to New York went well despite the turbulence. I do not really know what time I arrived at the airport or at the hostel. Once paid for my room, I rushed to my bed ...
Today I did not know what to do or where to go or visit. I just wandered into the neighborhood, before I put in a Starbucks for breakfast (a raspberry scone and a cappuccino that did not taste). A little more awake, I set my day's schedule.
So I decided to go in Manhattan. After taking the ferry to Staten Island, I walked to Battery Park. I zapped the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, see far enough.
I had lunch in a small fast-food bio nice enough where I ate a ceasar salad.
Then I went to Ground Zero and have turned around for one or two hours. I passed the New York Stock Exchange, Federal Hall and Trinity Church. Beside the church, there was a cemetery pleasant enough for people to dare to eat in peace ... I finally dare to take a picture, actually three to make a panorama.
What I most appreciated was the ferry to go to Staten Island: The sun sparkled on the water and a slight breeze blew across my fat cheeks. (O ^ u ^ o)
I have a good impression of the city, at least from what I saw: people are friendly (and polite), it's clean, it is easily detected, the buildings have a certain charm even the skyscrapers!
There is however a fairly flat relative, however: the food. There is not much that makes me want here. Junk food, hamburgers and stuff that look very fat, yuck! For my dinner, I stopped in front of more than 4 places before choosing not despite a sandwich in a supermarket ...
Tomorrow I go to Chinatown and the Lower East Side.
