Frick Collection
Today was a quite lazy day. School was ok, we won in a game, so we got some candy from our teacher. After that we were sitting in the students lounge in the Empire State Building. It was raining and we waited for the rain to stop. Then I went with David to the Frick Collection. Henry Clay Frick was a very rich man, who lived in a great house in Manhattan and collected famous paintings and sculptures. Since David knows a lot about art, he gave me much information about the paintings. But the most interesting thing for me was the house, which was more a palace from the inside. After that we went home. I walked a long way, instead of taking the subway. I really like to go in the streets between all these skyscrapers,the sidewalks full of people. On the way, I stopped at Grand Central Terminal, the biggest train station in New York. It is also the largest station in the world by number of platforms. There are 48 platforms with 75 tracks on two levels, both below ground. It was really interesting!
When I was home, I had dinner and helped Sonelius in the house for a while. After doing my homework, I will go to bed, tomorrow school starts one hour earlier.
