Today I went to the City on a photo-trip to see the Oculous at the site of the old World Trade Center & we also visited the reflecting pools. The Oculus is really cool, it has boutique-y shops inside & places to eat, plus they had an exhibit about the Sistine Chapel. The reflecting pools outside made me sad. It had the names of the peeps who died

I'm jealous because this all sounds so wonderful. I'm really glad you got to ride that cool carosel.

Thanks! It was a fun day, but a TON of walking. My poor knee was not happy yesterday. XD The carousel was awesome, even if 1/2 the fish had no riders. XD There was a sign on them, that I saw when they'd "swim" past saying something about refurbishing. XD They looked just fine to me. They went up & down & changed colors like they should... *shrugs* My only issue with it was being short & not very flexible, it was a bit hard getting in & out of them. So maybe that's what the refurbishment was about? Making them a wee bit more accessible. I could have ridden one of the more accessible ones, but they didn't move. XD I did like being "inside" my fish instead of just sitting on it. That made me feel more like a fish. :D

Aw to the knee.

Yeah I wondered how tight those fish would be. I'd still like to ride it myself.

Thanks! It's feeling better today. :D

They're like a regular chair size. Being short & a lil stiff, made it hard to climb up & then climb out. XD I think you could ride it if you ever get the chance to visit! :D

[cornerofmadness]

cool.

Where exactly is it?

[kiramaru7]

:D

Battery Park.

[cornerofmadness]

Cool, never been there

[kiramaru7]

Neither had I, until I went there. XD

[cornerofmadness]

Who knows maybe one day I'll be back in NY

[kiramaru7]

That would be awesome! :D
