PA PA PALALA... visiting with Frank Sinatra in mind, and Jillian as a great Guide and very very nice host, we spent really good time in that AMAZING city! Walking in the streets with the eyes always up to the sky, your neck hurts after half an hour but worth it! From Manhattan to China Town, the atmosphere changes every 5blocks, it's like visiting 10 countries in one big city! As good tourists, we had to see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island (very fascinating visit), Central Park, Time Square, Bryant Park also which is very very nice at night with all these cute couples hanging around and climbed up the Empire State Building at Night! How can People can live so close to each other!? Only in this big amount of lights, there are more people concentrated here than in whole Sweden!
Again, Thanks again to Mike and Jillian for being great people and allowed us to fly over NYC in a little plane, something that we will never forget and realise how lucky we are that we did it! THANK YOU GUYS, You are AWESOME!New York City, with a population of over 8.1 million, is the most populous city in the United States.

Central Park is a public park at the center of Manhattan in New York City. The park initially opened in 1857, on 3.41 km2 of city-owned land.

Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War, and was completed in 1873.
Designated a National History Landmark in 1962, the park is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the city government. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 83.5% of Central Park's $37.5 million dollar annual budget, and employs 80.7% of the park's maintenance staff
