Harlem and marathon

I have also been in Harlem, a neighborhood where jazz music is played in every corner. I could see in Harlem the New York marathon. It is one of the most famous in the world. There were people from many different countries and there were also concerts to keep runners up.

Statue of Liberty

Today is November 7th and I have been in the Statue of Liberty. The statue is in an island and you can get there by Ferry from Manhattan or New Jersey. It´s 12 dollars each ticket. It is very nice and not so big but the view of Manhattan is very nice.

Halloween in the school

We celebrated Halloween in the school on Friday. I dressed up as the scarecrow in the Oz Wizard. We ate many sweets and we had fun. Here I am in my classroom.

Halloween parade

Hi everybody!
Ms. Conchi showed me the pictures of the celebration of Halloween in the school. They were awesome!
You know that Halloween was celebrated in October 31st. There was a huge parade on the street. Everybody dressed up and the main streets were full of people. Have a look. It was difficult even taking a picture.

Toysrus

Can you see the name of this shop? Yes, great. It is Toysrus. It´s huge and you can find everything you have ever dreamt.

There is a big wheel inside. Have a look!

What can you tell me about this collection of Barbies?

Can you find at least two superheroes in this picture?

Finally I will send you a picture with the address of my school. Its full name is P.S. 75 Emily Dickinson School. Try to find it in Google Earth!

Times Square

Hi guys!
Here I´m in Times Square. This is an amazing area. Everything is illuminated with different colours and lights. You can find many shows and shops.

Halloween is closer!

Halloween is closer and you can even see people with masks. The most of the shops are decorated with monsters and pumpkins. Have a look at the roof of the fish market!!

Brooklyn Bridge

Hi!!
I took this pic from Brooklyn Bridge. You can apreciate Manhattan skyline in a lovely day.
The bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn. Since it´s opening, it has become an iconic part of New York.
I went from Manhattan to Brooklyn on foot through the bridge and I had a marvellous day there. Many people was walking and some of them were jogging. The most of the tourists were taking pics. I was one of them.

T Rex

Today we´ve been in the American Museum of Natural History. It was very interesting and I had a very good time. Here I am with a T Rex.

The Simpsoms

fernandotercero — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Here I am again,
This time I am in front of the school bus. It´s quite similar to Apu´s bus in the Simpsoms. You can see many of them around the city. Taxis (American people call them cabs) in New York have the same color.

Welcome to New York

fernandotercero — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Hi everybody. Well, this is one of the first things that surprised me when I arrived to New York. Have a look at the pumpkin at the bottom of the picture. It´s amazing.
Today I bought my tickets for the first basketball match of the season in the Madison Square Garden. Knicks against Portland (Rudy´s team). It will be on 30th October.
Now it´s half past nine pm in New York so it´s half past three am in Spain. I guess you all are sleeping. Sweet dreams!
