It's Halloween and people were in their festive costumes.  Some original and creative, and others were standard.  I was also in Central Park for the Chanel Mobile Art exhibition in Central Park.  For pictures from the Mobile Art, please visit:

August 30, 2008

We were in Central Park to go for a ride in the row boats.  It was a humid day - surprisingly.  The weather has been really pleasant - not humid.
The Park was full of people today - also surprised.  I thought people would have left for the long weekend.  The lake was especially crowded.  There were many inexperienced rowers in the lake getting in our way or seconds from ramming into us.  Luckily, Thomas is very experienced and out maneuvered these wanna-be rowers.

The lake was also very green.  Some of it was algae, and there was something else in the water.  Little leafy things.  We didn't know what they were but it almost covered the lake.  I thought they were kind of pretty until we rowed into a part of the lake that had a heavy layer of these teeny leafy things.  It made the lake look kind of swampy.

Memorial Day may mark the first day of summer in the United States, but today's hot and humid weather marked the first day on summer in New York City!

We had lunch at Stand, a burger joint near Union Square. You'll see some pictures of the restaurant and colorful glass.

We spent the day in Central Park, rowing the boat in the lake. The park is making some cosmetic changes to the lake surroundings. They're adding more flowering plants and lush vegetation. They're also expanding the lake too.
