Rockfeller Center

8h30: My alarm is kicking. I’ve set it this early so we could have a little breakfast before we leave to our next destination: the Rockefeller Center. However, since I was so dead tired, I decided to Switch it off and continue my sleep cycle. But to my great mistake, breakfast ends at 9h am and we were starving. To make it up to her, decided to take her to the nearest Starbuck coffee of the Rockefeller. However finding a Starbuck was ironically very hard. Aren’t they supposed to be in every corner of any city? Well I guess not, we had to walk 20 min to finally find one.

After having this late brunch, off we go to the Top of the Rock. I remember asking people where the Top of the rock was, but it was just before my eyes. It’s just that I can’t have the whole building in my sight of vision. This later is not as high as the Empire State Building but the view is so much more wonderful. Indeed, first there is no fence wasting the view. There are big squarish glasses though but it’s much more discrete than metal fence. Second, the view on Central Park is so much nicer. You have a full view of the giant park and all the building surrounding it forming a perfect rectangle. At that time, I couldn’t help thinking about the first field trip we had couple months ago. Wouldn’t be more beneficial to have tall business building instead of this huge giant park? Seriously, it seems that the park just comes out of nowhere (and this is probably why I give so much attention to central park).

Then we came back at night to watch the sunset. As the Sun went down, sky slightly changed from blue to orange and even pinkish. I gotta admit, it was kinda romantic. It is said that during sunsets, the very last ray of sunlight is supposed to be green. Lot of stories are said surrounding this green ray of sunlight. However, I didn’t get the chance to witness any of them. Maybe it was just rumor after all…
