Downtown

Hello from the Big Apple.... or what i found out was once called the Big Onion.. (Is that true or not?)

Today it has been bitter cold, and we've spent the day downtown.

I wrapped up warm today - 1 pair of sock, tights under my jeans & wooly socks. & 4 layers under my jacket, but still the cold seeps right into my bones.. USCH. 

Today all (my sister, dad and I) our energy hasnt been on top, so by the end of the day there were a few arguments... mainly from my sister and dad (I avoid conflicts at all costs and just sit silent, and try to end conflicts) but otherwise we have had a really good day!!

We left the house at around 11am this morning (5pm swedish time(???) i still find the time difference weird!) and headed down to where you could take the boat out to the Statue of Liberty. However, when we got there the wind was blowing so much and neither of us was that interested of actually seeing the Statue of liberty, so instead we took some pictures and then continued walking up to Wall Street,

Around 1pm it was time for lunch and we went into several different cafes before we finally settled on the  Irish American pub. (Typical that the Irish tourists end up in an irish pub in NY? hahaha)

I ordered a super yummy salad - Salmon on arugula salad & fresh fruit and feta cheese. 

And then for dessert me and my sister shared a chocolate brownie with ice cream and whipped cream!! Mmmmm

I an still waiting to buy Ben and Jerrys ice cream....But we havent found it anywhere :(

After warming up and getting our energy back we continued out on Wall Street and walked to the World Trade center.

We then planned on walking to China town, but after getting lost and realised that it would take alot longer to walk than expected, we instead took the tube into Midtown and went to the Museum of Modern Arts

After that it was time for a coffee refuel and me and my sister got our first Starbucks coffee for the trip!!!

I just got a coffee as i needed the caffeine, but next time im planning on getting a winter special - Maybe a peppermint latter or creme brulee frappucino?? Mmmm

And then all of a sudden it was 6pm and it was time to take the tube back home.

We stopped in a small market to buy food for dinner, and i saw this (Below)

^^ Those are the biggest avocados i have ever seen... can you even call them avocados???
