time to tell you about my last days! after class on thursday the last aupair (michaela) brought me to my new home. the house is very big! it has got four floors and is so neat and clean. my room is upstairs at the top of the house. i share the floor with the kids (toby 9, simone 7 and naomi 2). somedays the kids are screaming early in the morning and sometimes at night...

on friday michaela first had shown me the school, naomis daycare, the hebrew school etc. after that we walked through brooklyn heights which is the richer part of brooklyn. but the houses did not look that expensive. it is so dirty in the streets.. that is weird! but from there we had such a nice view to the skyline of manhattan. i loved it!


then we walked over the brooklyn bridge an took the free ferry to staten island which passes the statue of liberty very close. it is funny to stay in ny for five days without having seen the statue of liberty the days before...


after that we walked through ground zero. while everything was so big, amazing and crazy we felt so sad at this place. there was silence while the people looked at the big pictures from september 11. it was like the fast nyc life took a break there. if you had been there it means a bigger dimension to you than seen on tv!


after our round trip we were at the musical "phantom of the opera". it was so good and i really enjoyed it! when we returned home the family had alredy come home from their vacation and was asleep. so i first met them saturday morning.
