FIFTH DAY: Monday, September 8th , 2014

 

We went to New York City for the second time and, I have to say that I love it. First, we went to the Metropolitan Museum. It's very big and amazing. I love the Egyptian art, Greek and Roman art and all the musical instruments you can see there.

I felt bad because I couldn't see the whole museum.

On the second and third floor, where you can see the 19th and 20th Century European Paintings and Sculpture, I had to choose the picture which struck me most. I chose this picture:

Title: The Grape Harvest (1884)

Artist: León-Augustin Lhermitte

Technique: Oil on canvas 

In the picture I can see four people (peasants): two girls, one of them pregnant, one man and a child.

One of the women and the man are picking grapes and the other woman is speaking to a child while he is eating grapes.

I love this picture because I think it's a very natural scene and it reminds me of Spain.

Later, we went to Central Park and we had lunch there. I ate a tasty sandwich of turkey and cheese, coke, pear, ...

I had lunch with María and at lunch time we came across a Statue of Alice in Wonderland. I have read the book and seen the film and I like them both.

Then we went to the 5th Avenue, where there are some expensive shops, such as: Cartier, Tiffany's, Gucci, .... I love it!

At four ´'clock I saw a soccer match at NA. I liked the day!
