16th : New-York

Going straight to the south of Manhattan, we board on a boat for Staten Island from which we can see the Statue of Liberty ! Very nice view of NYC ! Then, go to Ground Zero (WTC site), where they are building a new tower (Freedom Tower) and a park, memorial of 9/11. Stirring ! As we're in the financial district, we gotta see Brooklyn bridge and Wall street, the heart of the Economic World !! Then tonight, we cannot resist to go to Time Square ! Luminous, shiny, sparkling, the atmosphere is attractive and amazing !! Really lov'it !

15th Day : Last greyhound travel

Boston -> New York, our final destination ! So many skyscrapers ! After check-in our 2 hostels, we've been in Central Park ! Then in the streets at the south where are erected biig buildings ! A heaven for architects I guess !! Don't want to go to time square tonight and visit everything the same day, as we're also a bit tired, we've spend the night in the street before getting to the hostel :) First half-day in New York : not bad at all :D !

14th : Boston

We have one day for visiting Boston ! One thing useful there is the freedom trail, a red line drawn on the ground you can follow for visiting the best places of the city ! That's what we did ! Boston is more like an European town. We enjoy walk between the buildings where there were several street shows ! :)

13th Day : Harvard

As we are not so far from Harvard University, this is the opportunity to go there ! Big campus ! Beautiful buildings ! I wanna study there next year :D Then, as we've met Centya yesterday, a so sweet American living in Milton who proposed us to sleep in her house as she's alone for a while, we've accept her proposition for 2 nights ! Very very kind !

We boarded in the magic bus.. no airclim, no window, no outlet, bus overcrowded.. the driver was lost several time ! We're not about to forget it ! :D Arrived in the afternoon in Boston, we found an apartment near Harvard where we spend our night !
