Sunday June 17th, 2001 / Domingo 17 de junio del 2001. On Sunday we went to the Museum of Natural History and even though we tried to find Dr. Ross (from the TV show Friends) we didn't see him anywhere. It's a great museum too. We saw the Dinosaurs, the Human Evolution, The Genome and the Big Bang exhibitions. El domingo nos costo un chorro levantarnos. Nos fuimos al Museo de Historia Natural, tambien enfrente de Central Park, pero como a 30 cuadras del hotel (Central Park es enorme). El museo estuvo precioso. Vimos los dinosaurios, el DNA, la evolucion humana. Increible, moderno, espacioso. Y nosotros muertos de cansancio.
From there we walked a little in Central Park, which is a huge park, I think it's like 1/4 of the Manhattan's size. Following that, we went to the Lincoln Center where there was kind of a fair event on the open. We walked around the booths and had dinner there. De ahi nos fuimos a caminar por Central Park, como una hora, nomas alcanzamos a ver un pedacito. Es tan grande que hay calles con semaforos, restaurantes, lagos, teatros, etc, adentro. De ahi nos fuimos al Lincoln Center, que es como un centro comercial y bobeamos un rato, ahi comimos unos sandwiches.
We went to the hotel to rest and at night we went to a nice Italian restaurant to have a few drinks. Finally, on Monday, we had breakfast in the first Blimpie of NYC and walked to Times Square. We went to the airport and arrived to KC around 7pm (after another delay). The city reminded me a lot to Mexico City: gray, busy, crowded, and big. Karla liked Mexico City's subway better, it was cleaner. We didn't see crazy people or dangerous places, situations or persons. It was not as crowded as she thought it was going to be and safer too. Fuimos a descansar al hotel y en la noche nos fuimos a un restaurante-bar a tomar unas cervezas. El lunes fuimos a desayunar y caminamos por Times Square antes de tomar un taxi al aeropuerto. Estabamos muertos. El avion se retraso un poco y finalmente llegamos a casa cuando estaba anocheciendo. Esa semana nos costo un chorro levantarnos para ir a trabajar, pero la verdad estamos super contentos de haber ido y aprovechado los pocos dias que tuvimos.
The hotel was a block from Broadway (three from Fifth Ave.) and two from Central Park, so we were in a great location. I really liked my trip. En general, Nueva York nos gusto mucho. Se parece al DF: gris, grande, lleno de gente. Vimos muchos turistas. Tal vez eso ayudo a que no vieramos violencia o inseguridad. Es una ciudad llena de vida, colores, actividades y gente de todos los lados del mundo.
