We woke up as usual and went for a walk in Central Park, where we saw lots of people playing baseball and running. We then went to Broadway to try to buy tickets for the musical "Mamma Mia!", but they were sold out, so we had free time for shopping around Times Square while John and Marcia tried to find tickets on resale.
They finally did find them, and gave us a bit more free time and time to eat before the musical. The musical started at 2pm, it was quite a good show, funny, and with great music and singing, about a girl who is about to marry, who doesn't know who her father is, so she decides to invite the 3 possible "dad candidates", about whom she has read in her mom's diary. In the end the girl's mom marries the girl's father, and the girl decides not to marry, because she is still too young, and needs to get to know more about the world.
After the musical, we walked to the Empire State Building, and went up to the 86th floor, where one could get a view of all NYC. Later, we had time to do some more shopping and went back to the hotel, where we had dinner, a shower, and had to prepare our suitcases for the trip to Texas. 
Flight and Arrival at Texas
We had to wake up at 5am to get a shuttle bus to the airport, and got the plane to Fortworth airport in Dallas, Texas. We arrived there at 10:50, much earlier than the families had expected, so they still hadn't arrived. When they came, we were introdced to our host families, who took us to Olivia Flowers' house, a huge mansion with a garden, swimming pool, cinema, pool table, etc. We had a typical Texan BBQ, and then they taught us to play American Football. We weren't very good at it, and we all played quite rough, and with "home rules". Later we went to play pool for a couple of hours, and then I went with Tim to his friends' house, where we played playstation for a while, until Tim's dad came pick us up. Tim showed me their house, and introduced me to his mom, brotherr, sister, and dog. We had dinner, played playstation for some time, and went to bed.
