New York, New York

So I finaly arrived in New York City. The flight was nice and smooth and everything went pretty well. It was amazing howKylowna and I could coordinate our flights. She landed from the Czech Republic at the same time I did from LA. I was happy to see her there and our adventure could start. Because we are staying in New Jersey we had to take a taxi from JFK which became quite an adventure. The taxi driver picked us up and after an hour of drive when we got to New Jersey he could not find the street we needed. He was driving like crazy round the small town, Kylowna kept calling for directions and we still could not find it. It was also raining so it was impossible to identify the streets names and the driver just did not want to slow down. It reminded me of the movie the Terminal with Tom Hanks when there is a Russian driver who got to NYC a week ago and is already driving people around. Well, to make a long story short, we obviously found the place and had the first night on the East Coast. The place we stay at is called Port Monmouth and it is a small part of a larger Middletown.

The next day we could not wait to get to the BIG city and see in person whether it is really so special as everybody says. Here are some pictures of the places we saw on our first day.



This was a great thing on Times Square. People text their secrets over the phones and they anonymously appear on this skyscraper. Some of them were very funny actually.

The view from the Empire State building was magnificent. Manhattan is indeed a breathtaking place. Despite the fact that the weather was not that great we took some very nice pictures I dare to say.



The building is very beautiful also from below.
Central Park. Awesome place. Kylowna and I were sitting there for hours I would say. We got into a discussion and becauseour dicussions are always about a serious thing we just kept sitting and talking. I just love the way we chose to explore the city, NO rush. Just soaking the atmosphere inside our bodies. No running anywhere.

Kylowna is crazy about Donald Trump right now. About his life and the way he handles his businesses. I had a chance to take a glance in her book and he certainly is funny. So visiting his Trump Tower was a must.


This was the salad I had there. DELICIOUS!!!


We also managed to visit Rockeffeler Center which has this beautiful statue in front of its building.

Then we were just taking hundreds of pictures of NYC.
