What I Love About New York
New York a concrete jungle where dreams are made of. I love New York, there is so much that I love about it I don't know where to start. I have so many favorites out of all of the wonderful, beautiful places in the world, but New York is certainly one of them. With so much to see and do it's no wonder it's called the city that never sleeps. The city has so much history, the architecture of the buildings is wonderful to look at. I love the Brownstone buildings, and how a lot of building complexes has awnings over there steps. Central Park is so lovely, if your in a helicopter flying over New York City, or from the Empire State Building or the Rockefeller Center and you see Central Park it's like a big green rectangle in the middle of the city, what a beautiful view.Friday, March 18, 2011

I stand on the warm white sand gazing at the softly pale blue sky blending into the ocean; I stand there for hours until the blue horizon slowly turns into a beautiful shade of pinkish orange as the sun begins to set over the sparkling turquoise water. The smell of salt water and flowers around me is so relaxing I just stand as my feet slowly sink into a white warm blanket of sand. I can hear the sound of drums in the distance getting louder and louder as the luau starts to get more intense. I walk along on the beach towards the lagoon, and then the drums slowly fade away.
I stop and take in a deep breath of fresh air and look around me, it is so breathtaking. It’s like skydiving for the first time. For the first few minutes when your falling it takes your breath away, then is becomes peaceful and relaxing. It is paradise, so come to beautiful Hawaii and relax, let all your worries fade away like the sun fading into the blue horizon.
