Today, I had breakfast with Natasha and Murat (from Russia), and we decided to visit NY together today as our plans were the same.
We started our walk in Central Park. I didn't really enjoyed my short walk there last week because of the weather, but today, the sky is blue, the temperature is ideal, there are a lot of people running or walking in the park, the squirels are also here... it's just per-fect!!
In Central Park we saw the Reservoir, Alice in Wonderland, Strawberry Fields (with the memorial to John Lennon) and some other nice places.

This morning, I only had a rest in Boston as I'm very tired after having visited so many places and museums. I left the hotel around 1.00pm and went to South Station to take the bus. I was lucky the 2.00pm bus wasn't full and they let me board with my 4.00pm ticket, hoping that we won't be stuck in the traffic jam in NY.

Today was my last full day in Boston. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon and I will arrive quite late in NY then, I'm really not sure I will be able to post here.
My day started early again, with a visit of Harvard and the Museum of Natural History (in Harvard). The museum wasn't as big as the one I saw in NY, but it was very interesting and I've learned several things. Do you know the color of the pigment of a blue feather? It's black, but some air bubbles make it look blue, hahahah!!! You didn't know, right?

I'm very tired and today, the post will be short. I'm also a little fed up because the museums close early and I didn't do what I expected to do: for a lot of small museums, you must follow a guide who speaks english and tell you much more than you need to know and all this make you waste your time and miss other museums. That could sum up my day.

I'm a pictures addict, but I think I've never taken so many pictures. Today started early because some of my roomates woke up at 7.00 and then I did the same.

This morning I woke up early (6.30am... who said holidays were cool???), had a fast breakfast (a very yummy spices & orange cake I bought on Staten Island yesterday) and took the subway to Chinatown to take my bus. As always, I arrived early because you almost never wait for the subway here and you always find your way easily. While waiting for the bus, I started speaking Russian with an Armenian lady taking the bus to Boston. She has several grand-children living in France... the world is soooo small!!!!

Today was my last day in NY before I move to Boston (I will come back here for one day at the end of my trip, but I don't think I will have the time to visit a lot of places).
The weather forecast was right: today, we've had a wonderful day and I don't regret I planned my visit of Staten Island for today.

Today is Saturday and all the museums open later than on week days... a good excuse to wake up a little later (7.45 instead of 7.00). I realize that I'm leaving on Monday morning and my stay in NY is almost over. I've seen all the major places and museums here, except 2: the Van Cortlandt House (in the Bronx) and the Museum of Modern Art.

Another busy day has ended here in NY. This morning, as I planned, I went to South of Manhattan and took my ferry ticket to go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The sky was bright and the temperature just perfect. The Statue of Liberty is a must-see as it's one of the most famous monuments in the world, but the most interesting part of the stop on this island is the view: you have a breathtaking view of the south of Manhattan. A little further you can also see the Empire State building. I took the time to sit down, drinking slowly a good cappuccino and admiring the panorama.
