Froggy's Adventures: My First Week in New York

Hi class!

My first week in New York City has been fantastic! I've done a lot of sight seeing and plenty of shopping! I wish you all could join me here so that we could have a lot of fun. Today was extremely action packed! First, I went to Soho, a really cool area here in New York City, and went shopping at Bloomingdales! It's been really chilly this past week and even almost snowed at one point so I had to make sure that I got a warm winter coat!

After we finished shopping, we went to the famous Times Square where the New Year's Eve celebration is. I thought it was very cool to see how many people were there. Not only did I see and meet people from all over the country, I also met people from all over the world! When you're in Times Square, it's like daytime. Even at night! There are so many billboards, advertisements and videos that light it up. I hear that it is never empty, even at 4 in the morning! When we were walking back, I got to see the Empire State Building! Every night it lights up different colors. Tonight it was red and green! Did you know that you can go to http://whatcoloristheempirestatebuilding.com/ to see what color it will be?

I forgot to mention that I'm staying at the George Washington Hotel building here in NYC! It opened in 1928 and has had a lot of famous visitors! Did you know that the first plans for the World Trade Center were drawn out here?

I have a lot to see before I leave on Wednesday! I have decided to spend Thanksgiving in either Maine or in Kansas! Then, who knows where I will go? I'll be sure to keep writing to my favorite class to let you all know how I'm doing!

I've included some pictures here as well!
