Baltimore, Amish Village, Philadelphia and NY


Charging Bull
It was another long day of the trip. Usually, we used to start early in morning and return late evening. This day, we covered, Baltimore-just the harbour. Then we moved to Amish Village, it's a different culture, different (old) lifestyle which still exists in certain parts of America. They showed us their style of house and the guide girl made me try dresses. Also, I was the translator for this guide too. She even suggested me taking it as a job which I am considering.

The Times Square
Then we moved on to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell-an iconic symbol of American Independence. Next was the Stock exchange in New York, followed by the Charging Bull/Wall Street Bull. Last but not the least for the day the one and only Times Square. We spent plenty of time in Times Square. I believe it is the most famous place all over the earth. People from all over the countries come to visit this place.
New York Skyline
It's located in midtown Manhattan section of New York. Once we completed it, we had a nice dinner in a nearby Indian restaurant. Just before moving towards our hotel, we stopped for night view of the New York skyline. I must say, its worth watching. The night view is like a cherry on top. With this we concluded our day. But hold on, it was completed wrt tour. My day had just started as I called one of my old friend from New Jersey with tea. As father wanted to have tea, I called him and he was also so friendly that he traveled 40 miles to bring tea, actually to meet. We had tea and went for a Pan. Then, as per tradition, called our common friends and remembered the great old days.

Enterprise Shuttle @ The Intrepid
Next day was also dedicated to New York. By this time, guide was so happy and grateful that he decided to buy breakfast for me and parents. As I helped him to drive this tour till the time. He would have gone mad as it was already difficult to manage the Chinese group and then on top an Indian group with language barrier. Our first attraction for the day was the Empire State Building. We skipped it as we already visited Chicago 360. It also gave us time to chill a bit and have breakfast for free. Second no. goes to Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. I had been to this place, but it was easy for parents, if I could just escort them through it at a faster pace and explain them whatever possible.
