Anyway, I think I have decided that next weekend I am going to do a round trip. I am going to start at Battery Park, walk up Broadway to the Bronx, then turn back and return to Battery Park. This walk will be the distance of a marathon. I am very excited. This summer I think I am going to go on many epic walks, including some in Brooklyn and Queens (maybe even Bronx, although I doubt I would stoop to walking in Staten Island).
Anyway, here are some pictures from this weekend's walk...
Before my walk I needed a very large meal to power my journey; I therefore went to Subway
Crossing the bridge from the Bronx to Manhattan; the water looks brown
Crossing the street where I actually live - I was so tempted to go home and collapse on my bed and drink a milkshake
Getting close to Times Square - an epic nomad's worst nightmare
By the end of my journey the sky had turned gray and a mist was coming from the east; the mists are enveloping the Statue of Liberty, that mythic stone of yesteryear's hopes and rashes
