After a day of waiting at Paris Orly terminal (…including a scary moment at the time of byke check in !!!)
the 8 hours of flight and transfer to our hotel..
…we finally arrived in the city that never sleeps,
exhausted and happy to finally rich our room, we just dropped on the beds like flies.
After a few hours of rest we took the first morning shuttle to Manhattan.
I decided to leave my bike in its box for enjoy this sunny first day with my family.
…just one word… WOW !
We felt like beeing in a movie !
– awesome skyscrapers
– clean streets…without a butt,
– beautiful and relaxing parks
hearing all languages, (especially French!) , we just had a crush !
We started the day tasting a delicious freshly squeezed smoothie from one of the many food truck you can find at every corner making me realize how simple it will be find meals that suit to my way of life.
Then visiting some of the iconic New York places :
– Rockefeller Center
– magnificent St Patrick’s Cathedral perfectly contrasting with the skyscrapers that surround it,
– the large central terminal
We took a break in Bryant park, a bit of nature surrounded by towers, taking a snack with fresh salad and an organic smoothie snack and observing New Yorkers having their lunch break. We enjoyed this place offering a lot of chairs, board games and books for free (but still clean and not defaced…let us tell you how amazing this is for french people!)
Everything was just perfect!
Then we realized even more the city dimensions by reaching the Empire State Building top !
Nathan had some great fun with local kids on a playgroung a moment before the thunderstorm broke out.
We took this chance to have a little Starbucks break.
Time square by night !
our final visit of the day, in the rain, Nathan sleeping on my back, exhausted but so amazed !
We have just a perfect time so far !
I’m so happy to be with my family and this city is beyond expectations.
Tomorrow morning let’s get the bike of its box for my first american ride to prépare THE BIG RACE approaching.
