Hello Everybody! Right now Im home completely alone enjoying the silence since my nephew left to Puerto Rico for 2 1/2 weeks and my niece is at school right now :D Since Betzy left I havent really do anything but next week I got to move my a$$ and do some responsible things in life ;) Anyways since I have the time I decided to write the second part of my last blog before I forget what we did :P
So after resting a little bit the weekend after coming back from Canada, that Monday July 19 we were once again up at 430am to leave to NY for our second trip. The bus left around 8:15am and since the beginning we saw that our tour guide wasnt as good as the one to Canada. She was young and kind of afraid to talk to us much haha. We were 60 in this tour and most were Chinese people again but we had a couple from Colombia that speak Spanish too. Our first stop was in Philadelphia were we saw the Liberty Bell and some other place where I got yelled for crossing the street between the cars and not in the light. You could tell we werent from there lmao. After that we walked to the US Mint where we saw how the make the quarters, pennies, nickels etc. It was pretty cool but we werent allow to take pictures or videos.

When we were gonna leave the tour guide told us the bus broke :? so we went to eat and got stuck in Phillie for 3 hrs. When we finally got the bus back we left straight to Washington DC. The tour guide was like oh there is the museum, there is the congress, that's the Washington monument so be back in an hr. Betzy and me looked at each other like Wtf.. so yeah we had to walk and find the places our-self and she stay in the bus I think haha. We first went to a museum that had a lot of planes and all the history on wars etc. I cant remember which museum was it Lol but it was pretty cool :D Then we walked to see the Congress and once we got there we just turned cause we were tired of walking to it :lol:

Our next attraction that day was a cruisearound Washington DC. To be honest it was boring cause there were a lot of plants and trees around covering the view so you get to see all the monuments and stuff but sometimes you are like where the Fck is the statue he is talking about. I looked around for like 20min looking for the biggest bronze statue in the world that is supposed to be there but I never found it :lol: How can I not find that??

At night we drove to Virginia where we went to eat at a Chinese Buffet and then finally went to the hotel at around 11pm
The next morning we had to be up at 6am and from there we went back to Washington DC. The first stop was the White House. It was cool to see it but it was so far away Haha (see picture below) Idk if you are still allow to get closer and walk in some parts of it but if you are well we didnt. We just saw it from outside but it was still cool :)

After that we went to see the big statue of Washington and The Lincoln monument. We saw a lot of other historical things that are all in the area but at the end of the day we werent paying much attention to the history anymore :lol: Its funny cause at first we would read everything and then we were like oh yeah some statue haha. Going there is fun though, its just different when you go on a tour and you have to do everything by hr cause you get so freaking tired. Also it was like Idk 1pm and we hadnt eat yet.
We left to Maryland to have lunch and then go to Baltimore but some route was closed for construction so we ended up at a mall eating and then taking some other way to Baltimore. Baltimore was our last attraction and it is so pretty in there. We got only one hr to be there so we walked around as fast as we could to go to an Aquarium. The problem was that it started raining and they closed the way there so our only way to get there was by taking a boat taxi. Of course they come by hour so we werent going to have time :( I wanted to go to the damn Aquarium but instead we had to see the stores around and the boats. I liked that place and I want to come back with more time cause there is so much to see in there.

That was our last day of tour cause this one was just 2 days. We then went back to NYC and that night we stay at the Bronx again. The next day we went shopping and went to Ikea in Brooklyn. After that we went to eat in Ihop and came back to NJ at night. The next day we took my nephew with us and we went to Time Square. We went to the movies there and watch Despicable Me. It was so cute! I loved it. Then we went to see Betzy's fam in the Bronx so she could say goodbye. We missed our bus to NJ so we had to wait to almost 1am to take the last one haha. Betzy's last day here we went to do laundry and buy some things in the shopping center. We took her to the airport around 630pm and she got to PR save :)
I got to say this trip was so much fun and having my best friend around for 2 whole weeks was the best thing this summer. Now we are planning to have an Europe trip in the future, but that wont happen in at least 3 years :P
Hope you liked the second and final part of my trip. See ya all around :)
Love,
Jenna
