Wow! New York is fantastic! We're having a great time. I can't believe we got here only three days ago! There are so many sights and thousands of tourists everywhere! Here's what we did in our first few days in the Big Apple.

We arrived on Saturday and got a taxi to the Paramount Hotel. It's in Times Square, in the centre of the city, so it was easy to find, but it can be a bit noisy. There's a lot of traffic in New York! It's not the capital city of the USA — that’s Washington — but more people live in New York than anywhere else in America. The good thing about our hotel is that it’s very close to the places we want to visit. We dropped our bags and we immediately went to explore the area. It was late, but we had a great time just looking at everything, I had a hot dog for dinner, with lots of mustard! It made me feel like I was in America!

The next day, Sunday, we went to the Empire State Building. It's huge! We went up to the Observatory on the 102nd floor — that’s right at the top! You pay to get into the building, and the ticket for the Observatory is an extra $15. It's expensive, but there's an amazing view! We saw the river, with lots of ferries on it, and lots of really tall buildings. I didn’t take any photographs because I didn't have my camera with me, but got some good postcards instead. Did it make me scared to be so high? Yes, of course, it did!

On Monday, we went to Central Park. It's right in the centre of New York, and it's got lakes and lots of trees and places to walk. There's a swimming pool, and I went in but my parents didn't. They had a picnic on the grass. After that, we got in a carriage with two horses and went all round the park.

Tomorrow's plan is a tour of Greenwich Village, with a tour guide to tell us about everything.

I love New York!
