After a night's rest, Shi Lei and Laura finally regrouped and continued their trip to New York.
Yesterday's shopping power is really terrifying, Laura didn't feel tired when she went shopping, it was not the case after returning to the apartment, shouting tired and shouting was much more powerful than Shi Lei, Shi Lei had to go over and massage Laura again, and by the way, he quietly transformed Laura to successfully relieve Laura's fatigue, otherwise Laura can still have energy today, and it is difficult to say if she came out with Shi Lei to continue her activities.
This happens to be the second Sunday in June, the day of the traditional "Puerto Rico Day" parade in New York. This massive parade has been held for 53 years and attracts celebrities from all walks of life every year. Ricky, who is well-known to the Chinese people for singing the theme song of the 1998 World Cup? Martin is a Puerto Rican who has participated in the New York March twice.
80,000 people take part in the parade, and nearly 3 million people watch it each year. The parade stretches for nearly six hours along Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 79th Street, making it one of the largest parades of the year in New York.
The various floats in the parade and the people dressed up in fancy clothes are very eye-catching, but the most attractive are the many male compatriots? The eyes are undoubtedly on the beauties of Puerto Rico.
Everyone's impression of Puerto Rico should be more from Miss Puerto Rico, who frequently won the crown in the Miss World beauty pageant. Puerto Rico is definitely a place rich in beautiful women, and the proportion of beautiful women is quite high.
Every time there is such a parade, Shi Lei's greatest pleasure is undoubtedly that he can stare at many beauties of all colors in a bright and bright manner, with a focused and strict expression, and he will definitely not reveal the appearance of Brother Pig, but try to get closer to the sacred.
Of course, Shi Lei does only have the pleasure of appreciating them. Does everyone have the so-called love for beauty, plus a little bad taste of playing with Laura, it's not that the spirit is cheating or anything, Laura is a satisfying and unsatisfactory ideal life partner in any way, Shi Lei is absolutely satisfied with being able to have Laura.
The two did not wait until the end of the parade, and watched the six-hour procession before leaving, which was too tiring, and it is said that after each end of the parade, some bad law and order incidents will occur. The attentive policemen along the street, in addition to maintaining order, are also in order to be able to deal with these possible things in a timely manner.
With Shi Lei in charge of opening the way in front, the two managed to squeeze out the dense crowd watching along the way before the parade ended, and the next goal, of course, was to go straight to another acclaimed restaurant to taste the delicious food.
For Shi Lei and Laura, two foodies, coming to New York to eat all kinds of food is also a very important purpose, such an international metropolis. Of course, there is no shortage of top-notch food from all over the world with various tastes, and since they have the opportunity to taste it, how can two big foodies who are rich and free let go of such a good opportunity.
Shi Lei even plans to stay until July. You can also catch up with Restaurant Week in New York, where you can enjoy more than 300 restaurants at a cheaper price, and you can just call your parents and sister and family to come together.
After drinking coffee and letting the food find a safe place to stay, making sure it doesn't interfere with your walking. Shi Lei and Laura came out of the restaurant and went to their next stop, which is known as the "Museummile" because of its many museums. East of Central Park, Fifth Avenue, New York, to be exact. This section from 105th Street to 82nd Street.
However, the two arrived in New York a few days late, not in time for the annual Museum Festival, also known as Museum Night.
Beginning in 1978, in an effort to cultivate new audiences and cope with financial crises, the museums held the annual Fifth Avenue Museum Festival, which was open to the public free of charge. Participating museums include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Jewish Museum, the Barrio Museum, the City Museum of New York, the Guggenheim Museum, the Asia Society Museum of New York, and more. There will also be numerous street performances and street art events.
Although the two did not catch up with the event, they also staggered the crowd, and they could enjoy the collections in various museums more leisurely and wander in the wisdom of their ancestors. It's just that every time I see exhibits from China in these museums, Shi Lei still feels a little panicked, a little unpleasant.
Shi Lei has no intention of studying the things in these museums seriously, and he only takes a look at them everywhere, but Laura always stops in front of some exhibits for a long time, probably looking for some inspiration for his own design.
Shi Lei didn't bother Laura's train of thought, he casually went around and returned to Laura's side, waiting for Laura to come back to his senses before continuing to walk, Laura only observed the few things she was interested in more carefully, and the others that were not attractive to her, she also walked through them directly.
Dinner is obviously solved in the restaurant again, Shi Lei plans to stay in New York during this time, lunch and dinner are solved in the restaurant as much as possible, which can not only liberate Shi Lei himself from the kitchen, but also satisfy the appetite of the two foodies, and be a leisurely glutton.
New York has so much to do in the summer, especially in June, it's definitely intensive. The two of them were visiting one of the biggest parades of the year the day before and the next day they were at another nostalgic event.
On Monday, both of them were leisurely enjoying the food and beauty of New York, strolling around Central Park and walking around the neighborhoods, and unconsciously killing the day. When it gets dark, the free open-air film festival at Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan begins, which runs for ten weeks and takes place every Monday.
On the day of the screening, the Great Lawn opens to audiences at 5 p.m., and many of them grab their seats early with banners. Young people, in particular, call friends, come one by one, and enjoy their own dinner on the grass. It's not dark yet. Before the movie even started, the entire square was already densely packed with young audiences.
This year's opening blockbuster, is Sean? Connelly starred in the first 007 "Dr. No dr.no", which is James? Bond's wonderful film work to save the world, in which the Bond girl will certainly not be absent.
These films, which are screened for free during the festival, span from the 1930s to the 1970s, can be said to be classic old films, familiar big-name actors, familiar music, and can make people forget the passage of time.
In Midtown Manhattan. In the canyon of the high-rise buildings of Times Square, watching open-air big-screen movies in the cool breeze is a unique charm. For many young people, this day is like a holiday.
Watching free movies in the open air with many people was one of Shi Lei's favorite childhood activities, and the bear children crowded on the village threshing floor were always the most active. There are also all kinds of snacks given by adults, and there are more wonderful movies to watch, and open-air movies have become the best moments in Shi Lei's childhood memories.
So although this event is nostalgic, it is for Shi Lei and Laura. They all have their own feelings, and such an event has a romantic atmosphere. This may be an important reason why there are so many young people here, rather than the elderly as they usually think, and memories are not just the preserve of the elderly.
Enjoyed a different kind of visual feast. The two of them, who have gained both physically and mentally, have sweetly returned to their rented apartment, and they have to prepare for the event that Laura yearns for the most tomorrow.
The reason why Laura encouraged Shi Lei to come to New York nearly 2 weeks in advance. It can be said that the most important thing is for this fashion event, the spring to New York fashion event co-organized by Paris Spring and V Magazine, this event can be said to be the most important fashion event in New York in addition to international fashion week.
Of course, it is obvious that this event is definitely only open to VIP people, and guests must be invited to enter, unless it is an international star who can brush his face, maybe he can enter without an invitation. Shi Lei and Laura are obviously not people who can enter with their faces, so they have to find a way to get an invitation.
Shi Lei definitely has no tricks in this regard, and the only person he knows in the fashion industry is his girlfriend Laura children's shoes. However, Laura did get the invitations, and through Emily's connections, she got two invitations from Emily's friends.
Looking at Laura's mysterious appearance, this friend should be a big name in the fashion industry. Although Shi Lei asked, Laura still smiled and kept it secret, saying that she could meet this person when she went to the event.
After returning to the apartment, Laura was still very excited, although there was still a whole day before the start of the event, Laura was already seriously turning out all her clothes to see which clothes were the most suitable, and the easiest way was, of course, to try them on one by one.
Shi Lei, as the only audience, had to watch Laura change clothes in front of him for a while like a flower butterfly, although the process of changing clothes was very fragrant, Shi Lei enjoyed it very much, but the subsequent judging process made Shi Lei very entangled, he felt that Laura was very beautiful in everything, so it was really difficult for him to let him say which one Laura wore the best.
In the end, after Laura struggled with herself for a long time, she chose a dress she designed for herself, and Shi Lei saw the opportunity to praise Laura fiercely, further strengthening Laura's idea.
The two of them need to live in New York for almost a month, and of course bring some clothes, especially if this fashion event is among the targets.
Shi Lei made it much easier to choose, and simply took out the Chinese dress designed by Laura, which well reflected Shi Lei's figure and temperament, and also showed Laura's design level, and it also happened to echo Laura's dress.
The two people wearing such clothes are very compatible, Shi Lei simply took out his camera to take a photo of himself and Laura, and at Laura's request, he put on a cool street shooting pose, and the imaging effect made Laura very satisfied, and they were going to print it directly as a souvenir.
