New York

My family and I were in New York for a couple days during a summer vacation. We were going on a cruise to the Caribbean, and New York is we were porting from. When we got out of the airport we took a cab to the hotel. The traffic was insane. Good thing our driver was an aggressive driver or we would have got anywhere. Finally we got to the hotel we stayed in this hotel that was in the middle of two other buildings. There was no space on between them. The room was slightly small but I did not care. From the window of the room I think you could see the Empire State Building but I was not sure if it was or not. I can remember walking around in New York, it is very different then here in Alameda. It seemed like New York went on forever, I could have easily gotten lost. There was a lot of side stands on the side walk and there was barely any room to walk.
One of the days that we were in New York we went to see Ground Zero. Which is were terrorist’s crashed an airplane into the Twin Tower on October eleventh. It was both amazing and very emotional to be able to stand less then 100 feet away from where the building use to be. A lot of Ground Zero was blocked off because there was construction going on.
When I am older I would like to go back to New York and do more exploring and site seeing. For the little time that I was in New York I saw many new things and sites. After the three days my family and I were off on a cruise ship on our way to the Caribbean.
