Hi zoe! Yesterday was my first day in the New York City and I walked by a river… I think it was Hudson River? It was nice and relaxing, much quieter than I expected in such a large City. I also used the Subway for the first time, which was so fun! I have many plans this week! On monday I will take a boat to Statue of Liberty. On tuesday I will visit many of the Museums in the NYC, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History. I also want to try some of the famous Restaurants in the city. I wish you were here, but I’ll see you soon! Love, Emily
