No meu curso da faculdade sobre Como Escrever um Diário - pq é o que parece - desta semana, eu tenho que fazer um texto sobre algum ponto de NY que eu goste muito, e escrever sobre minha experiência no local com uma ênfase ridiculamente turística. Como se eu estivesse escrevendo um artigo para um guia misturado com "meu querido diário".
Apesar de ter reluatdo muito para come;car, agora eu to gostando. O texto já passou das 1000 palavras e o assunto escolhido foi: South Street Seaport. Talvez este seja o local que eu mais gosto, mais me senti bem por aqui. A vista mais bonita. Talvez....pq esta cidade tem muita coisa, não tem como comprara. Mas a sensação que eu tive esta área - conhecida também como Lower Manhattan - foi algo muito bom.
To copiando parte do texto - que ainda não está pronto - aqui, depois eu publico o restante. Tenho que pensar, até amanha, em que local eu mandaria tal coisa...
South Street Seaport
One of the most amazing things about living in New York is that all over the city you can find an incredible diversity of places, architecture and views what makes you feel like in different countries around the world.
The first time that I felt that was when I visited the South Street Seaport, located on Fulton and Pearl Streets. My guidebook brought me to that place with the following description “Seaport is both one of New York's oldest and newest neighborhoods. Located in the financial district of lower Manhattan and adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge, the Seaport is a thriving waterfront community encompassing 11 square blocks of restored 19th century buildings, a maritime museum with the largest (in tonnage) fleet of historic ships in the world, the famous Fulton Fish Market, and more than 100 shops, cafes and restaurants and breathtaking views."
A visit around the area starts with the discovering of the America's maritime heritage. Far away you can already see all the great tall sailing ships and the thriving seaport. At the entrance of the South Street Seaport stands the 60ft. tall Titanic Memorial Lighthouse, a tribute to the people who died on the Titanic on April 15,1912.
The trip in this area is combined with lots of historical lessons, like The Memorial Light, which had a black ‘time ball’, activated by a telegraphic signal from the National Observatory in Washington, would drop down the pole at the very top of the Lighthouse at midday to signify the time to ships in the harbor. The Lighthouse served from 1915 to 1967. In 1968, it was donated to the Seaport and has been a proud fixture at the port since 1976.
