Two trains, a ferry, one more train, a bit of walking... and you can reach the most amazing, secluded hiking trails with brooks and marshland. One of the things I love most about this city. Michael packed us a spectacular picnic lunch: celery with peanut butter, green pepper and carrot with Italian dressing, Goldfish crackers, animal crackers, snack mix, dry cereal, grapes, Fruit by the Foot, chocolate, drinks. We got lost trying to find the park, as the website made it seem as though the road we needed to travel down was right off the train when in reality, there were a few turns to make first and we got fairly lost walking the wrong way through suburbia. But once we got turned around, we had a great lunch and the weather held up so perfectly. The day before (and today) were chilly and rainy but yesterday was just right. We got to watch the ships coming in for Fleet Week, escorted by the Coast Guard. It was really neat, and totally delightfully unintentional, to take a ferry ride on that particular day.
My prints arrived, so I am getting ready to make the first NYC scrapbook. It's been over a year since I scrapbooked and I missed it very much. Sort of laughing to myself because you know, most people get ready to go see their families and gather their two rolls of film or their little slide album or whatever. I've invested probably close to a dozen hours so far- selecting the best 500 pictures or so to represent my time here so far, organizing everything, etc. It's so worth it.
