Memories from Long Island
28
Oct
This year our trip to the USA was very spontaneous. One day we’ve decided that we go, and a week later Andrew welcomed us at the JFK airport.
Though we had an unplesent experience at the airport, as Szymon already has informed You, those three weeks that we spent at the Grabowski’s house was a wonderful time.
We traveled with Ania and Bożena along the Long Island, discovering many beautiful places, meeting new people and experiencing new sensations.
During our trips we came across on garagesales with countless amount of strange items that people keep in their homes. We found there souvenirs from World War II, and even family photos from the eighteenth century. We were also pleased to visit one of the farms with pigs, goats and cows where home made dairy products and delicious pumpkin pies have delighted our palates.
We found on Shelter Island hidden landscaped park called Mashomack with a beautiful nature, wildlife and little squirrels running around the feet.
We have been to New York Botanical Garden, where to this day grows 40 acres of forest which is untouched since before the time of the first European colonization of these lands. In New York we also have visited James Farley Post Office and the Museum of Postal History which is located inside the building.
We also visited Hoboken in New Jersey, where is located Carlo’s Bake Shop – the famous pastry shop, which has its own reality show on the TLC channel called “Cake Boss”.
It was a great and wonderful time full of laughter, fun and sunshines.
See you next year NY!
