Travel blog of a year-long round the world trip.
Currently in London, UK.
(the first leg of my trip in a nutshell -- route as originally planned).
Parking centrally [01/10/03]
I would give one of my lungs for a park like New York's Central Park in London: Hyde Park, Shmyde Park. The snaps below I found quite cute and amusing so I thought I'd share them with the world at large.
What we have here is a pic of a little kid devotedly making his mom from Montana very happy but refusing to smile for the nice man; doing 'chins' with a 78-year-old New Yorker, here practicing for his goal of making a one-handed-'chin' (people in NYC are amazingly active and fit, especially when compared to places where an SUV is routinely taken to the nearest McD's drive-in, excuse the stereotype); a Central Park guest appearance of Alice with her little friends (a lot of kids are generally running around Central Park trying to be photogenic); and finally the John Lennon memorial in Strawberry Fields which was so very sweet and almost made me feel that the 60s were back, with candles, flowers and mourning hippies and all (and tourists like me, snapping away, possibly making it New York's most often photographed pieces of rock, but never mind that).
Another place in the park definitely worth mentioning is the 'Ramble'. This is a wilderness with winding paths, artificially but skillfully implanted into Central Park and now a paradise for birdwatchers and conservationists who are only too happy to tell you about turtles, birds and the history of their favourite park.
That more or less concludes my Short Tour of Central Park: Nature in the Heart of New York City: A Fun Day Out for All the Family (Including Grandpa). Now available at all quality bookselling establishments
