"Rush Hours" in New York

    On Friday, we went to New York for a boat trip around Manhattan.When the boat trip was over, it was almost 4 pm. We had to arrive at
the corner of the Lexington Avenue and the 42nd Street to get onto the bus back to Yale by 6:30.

    With two and half hours left, we decided to
to go to the landmark and famous scenic spot in
New York, the Empire State Building.So Lusia, Joanna and I started to walk from the Hudson River end. When we walked through 42nd Street to the 11th Avenue, we were told that we had to walk to the fifth Avenue. When we finally arrived at the Empire State Building, there was one and half hours left and we had to leave at least half an hour to go back to the assembling site.

    Sometimes what you are afraid of will actually happen. On that day, the Empire State Building was extremely crowded. We waited and waited
in the endless line and became more and more worried
about the time left for us because it was 5:20 pm, we even didn't reach the elevator! What was worse, when the elevator arrived at 80th floor, we had to turn to another elevator to the 86th floor. So we decided to walk to the 86th floor, it was such a hurry and exhausting time. When we were standing on the 86th floor, we were out of breath.

    We only spent about 15 minutes on the 86th floor to overlook New York.It was an amazing view standing on the 86th floor to overlook New York. The running cloud,blue sky, the Hudson River and the skyscrapers make a beautiful and harmonious view of Manhattan.

    The two rush hours was really worthwhile.
