We spent a good part of Tuesday around the upper East side of Manhattan, beginning the lovely day with a visit to Central Park. I've been to NY three times before, but I've never managed to see central park (I don't consider walking along the perimeter as having 'seen' it). So this time, we made an effort to go, not that it required any. I think it's a gem to have such a huge, lovely park right in the middle of a bustling city. It must've been a big decision to 'sacrifice' prime land for nature, but well worth every inch. Because it's so huge (843 acres, 4.1km by 830m), it's inevitable that there will be parts of it that become dangerous when night falls. We only scratched the surface of the park, spending about two hours on the southern part of the park (66th St and below) and were already impressed by what we saw.
Feeding ducks (with corn pops cereal) at The Pond.
A little bit surreal?
We even managed to do a little "rock climbing"!
Meg loved the carousel so much that she asked to go on it twice! I found the music a little too loud! It costs $2 a ride.
Taking in a bird's eye view and sunbathing at the same time.
I had to have a feel of the new Macbook Air. It's really thin and light, a little too flimsy for my taste...the 24 hr store on 59th and 5th Ave is always packed!
Everyone's welcome!
