The Adventure of Climbing the Empire Building

 Don't be puzzled at seeing the title of "Climbing the Empire Building ". Actually ,we had an adventure in New York city on Last Friday.As we got off the boat after we traveled along the Hudson River,it was already 3:30 in the afternoon. Some of us planned to go to the Metropolitan Museum,the others planned to go to the Empire State Building and had a bird-eye view of the New York City.But we only had little time to fulfill the great task as the school bus was scheduled to go back New Haven at 6:30 pm. Ricky, his wife and Sunny went to the Museum. With Jane and Joanna, we three hurried to the Empire State Building.We ran all the way and walked past at least 7,8 streets.It was 4:00 when we got to the gate of the skyscraper.To our great disappointment, there was a long, long queue waiting for the elevator to the 86th floor.We spent half an hour to wait in the line and worried about the bus would leave without us.When we got into the lift and reached the 80th floor, we had to change the lift before reaching the 86th floor.But we were depressed to see a long waiting queue again.We were persuaded to climb the remaining 6th floor.We made up our mind and climbed.I was left behind and out of my breath While climbing.Thank God!I made it and stood on the observatory of the 86th floor of Empire State Building!I was proud of myself and seized the precious time to see New York city from the top of the tall building in only 10 minutes!
