Arrivederci (Goodbye) New York!!

Ciao Belo! 

Today is the last day of the New York City part of the trip and it was awesome as all the other days, if not more!!! This morning we visited the Statue of Liberty: it was pretty foggy when we got there and as the day was going on the fog disappeared and New York showed its beauties! The Liberty Statue was fantastic (I took like 1 million photos there hahah) and the landscape of New York from the island was unbelievable.

Then we headed to Times Square for lunch. I took a hot dog on the road and I ate it while walking to catch the most as possible of that area.

The most impressive site we visited was the Ground Zero Memorial: for the first time I really realized what 9/11 means for Americans, and it let me think about it.

As Italian I can say that Mama Sbarro was a pretty good Italian American restaurant (I repeat American) and I ate so much I couldn’t even move in the end! But we kept going! After dinner we walked three streets down to Broadway.

Phantom of the Opera
What to say about the Broadway show?? Just fantastic, it doesn’t happen every day to see a play in Broadway, especially if it is The Phantom of the Opera!! It was really, really good.

New York City in general is awesome, so crowded, busy and noisy!! Like in a movie! Perfect.
