I was walking to Kroger when I saw a policeman who was in the street. He was putting tickects on all cars that were parked in a place where it was prohibed to park. He asked me if I had called the police. I said no, and asked why? because they´re many cars in the no parking zone. I said that it is the same way every day.

When we were coming to Birmingham I asked about that city. My husband said that the population of Birmingham is about the same as Memphis. My sister - in- law said that Birmingham seemed more noisy and active that how it looked in the pictures on the internet. They also explaned to me that Alabama was known for coal mining and steel production. I saw some coal mines during the trip.

In the morning we got a newspaper. That day many events were planned to remember the tragedy that ocurred on 11 September 7 years ago. I read that Obama and MCcain would be at ground zero in the afternoon. I told to my sister and brother in - law about the news.
We went to ground zero but all streets around were closed. We then talked about our plans for the next day.

That day we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We were there for almost 2 hours. After we left I asked my sister in law if she had seen of the majority of the works of art. She said that was difficult to see everything in the museum and that you can get lost in it because it is so big and there are 2 millions pieces of art.

In the night after dinner we played cards and talked about which place was our favorite on the trip to New York. My husband said that his was the yankee's game because he loves baseball that was his first time to see the Yankees. My sister in law said that Ellis Island because that place was the door for the inmigration of millions for people from Europe and Asia many years ago. I said that Times Square was my favorite because it represents New York a noisy, busy city with fashion, commerce, restaurants, museums, etc. New York is in action 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
