New York

I'm in New York now! it's very big. I'm in Manhattan. This morning my family took a three hour tour of the island. It was boring but we saw the Statue of Liberty. After that we went back to the hotel and bought tickets to Mamma Mia! on broadway. they were like, $190 a ticket but broadway shows are supposed to be very good! Yesterday when we arrived in New York we went looking around in some shops. We went into Toys R Us which I would have loved to go into, 4 years ago, but my mum and dad wanted to see it. I saw an American Eagle clothes shop so we went in. Nice stuff but they are expensive! Like a pair of denim shorts for $25 or a check shirt for $40! I haven't bought anything yet, but today was our sightseeing day, tommorrow is our shopping day. It is really hot here! Yesterday it was 101 degrees which is supposed to be the hottest in 10 years or something in New York. Today we saw Ground Zero and a memorial place. It had pictures and videos and times of what happened then and people whose friends or family members died on September 11 2001. And it told us about what they are building to replace the twin towers. They are building a memorial place with all the photos of the people that died in it. It was sad to see the photos and videos. My mum went up in the twin towers years ago when she went to New York. Then they were the two tallest buildings in New York. Now, the Empire State Building is the tallest. We saw that on our tour around the island. Here it's 11:37 pm so I'm going to go to sleep now!
