I went to Staten Island today. Really, I just wanted to ride the ferry- it was every bit as cool as I thought it would be. I did some research last night and found that the Botanical Gardens are situated in this cultural center complex, so I figured I'd check it out. It was a lovely day for wandering around. Some of the gardens were well kept but others looked completely deserted. It was a far cry from Brooklyn's Botanical Garden, which was lush and breathtaking. But I sort of like creepy things, and this was creepy. There were so few people- even the childrens museum was nearly silent. Very strange. Everything felt ghostlike. It was a nice little afternoon trip though.
