New York City. Hello, Goodbye.

 My last day on my magical mystery tour of New York arrived way too quickly. As we rose from our beds that, admittedly, I will not miss, we made our way to our much loved Cafe Europa for some coffee and the best Pan au Choclat I have ever eaten. Today being a Monday meant that    all the workers with their ABC badges were there which made for some good people watching. It also made me feel wretched to leave New York "I want to live in New York and work for the ABC and get coffee and cake every morning!".
Once we were fed and coffeed we boarded the Subway into lower  Manhattan to see Lady Liberty. Being the savvy students that we are we decided not to get the ferry over to Ellis Island which would have set us back a fair chunk of money but instead we caught the free ferry to Staten island. We bustled on board, everyone with the same intention to be on the right side of the deck in order to get the best view. Luckily our position was prime and roughing the cold wind was completely worth it for such a fantastic view of the iconic monument.
Later we walked half the length of the city lingering in Wall Street where they had a massive market with an eclectic mix of things from deep-friend Oreos to hand carved giraffes. As the day went on we really started to feel the effects of three days walking and as we approached the next destination, the Natural History Museum, with only a few more blocks to go we hailed a cab. When we got there we were so tired that we collapsed on the floor underneath a blue whale for an hour. Definitely worth the entrance fee! Then, sadly it was time to go home. I won't dwell on the fact that it took nearly eighteen hours to get home because the coach broke down but will simply say that New York was amazing and that I will definitely be back.
