The Empire State


When I arrived to the airport I went to the rent car and  Itook a car, and turn the GPS to go to my hotel
It was a luxury hotel,  which had a  decorated entrance with old  decorations that made it elegant. The hotel was comfortable, had everything you need and the service was very attentive and sympathetic

In my first day in New York I Took the car and drive around to know how is the city and then I Had a breakfast at star bucks and after that I went to visit a building that I wanted to go since my childhood who was the Empire State.

Arriving there I talked with a touristic guide who went with me and we take the elevator.
In a few minutes we arrived to the top of the skyscraper and we saw a panoramic view of New York which was indescribable!!
 At first I feel dizy but after a few minutes I got used and started to take many photos that I will show you. It was an amazing the feeling to get on a skyscraper, I had never been on a building with over 20floors!

The Empire State is huge, has 102 offices and 62 elevators! This skyscraper is located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. It has an Art Deco architecture really interesting, I liked how the building was decorated inside.

After this trip I learned more about this ancient skyscraper because of the tour guide I had which was friendly and know lots of things about this building. I learned that the Empire State was the highest tower for 41 years up to emergence of the World Trade Center, and something really interesting that I didn’t knew was that in 1945 a plane crashed into the empire state causing 14 deaths and an elevator operator called Betty Lou Oliver survived a fall of 75 stories inside an elevator, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for whom survived the longest fall in an elevator, I couldn’t believe when they told me this story...
