Wow... Woke up to a breezy, chilly, crisp day... A great one for a walk in a park!

We knew it was breezy when we could see the leaves blowing around... right out our window on the 10th floor.  Not a determent at all... after a lazy morning, found our way back on the train and headed for the park... and decided to do a bit of geocaching.  The park was full of folks... and horse drawn carriages (with lots of blankets)... and pedicab type bicycles... If you stood still for too long, someone would call from the road "Would you like a ride?"  No way, we were on a mission!
The park's leaves were so fun when the wind whipped them up!  Course, no camera out when that happened!
 
So here's a geocache that we found (out of it's hiding place, obviously)  ... it took way too long... but there are so many people around and you have to look for it discreetly... Hidden in a big Manhattan schist there (don't know what that is?  you'll have to Google it)... The different rock formations are so beautiful... much rounder than what we have in the northwest.  We also searched for another cache, but alas never found that one.  Looking at the online logs, seemed two other folks searched and couldn't find it... me thinks it might be missing!
 
Piles of branches... cleanup in the park after Sandy... The Park really had very little damage...in comparison to Staten Island and New Jersey!
 
So, after a great dinner, we ordered a cannoli to share... it disappeared so fast, how did that happen?
Jillian... was it you?????
and she put on the best innocent look...

And, of course, a mom's all knowing eyes... she knows, Jilli and Jerry plowed through it! 


So we're not speaking anymore!

  1. Hahaha! Love wandering--or in my case getting lost in Central Park. Last visit a friend & I started at the very top border(around 110th or something) & spent several hours meandering back & forth to eventually the lower border. "Escape" from the city...............
