Central Park--11.87 miles

Garden in Central Park

I've walked through Central Park but today Lesley and I really walked through Central Park.  From Columbus Circle to Harlem, this was a fantastic walk for me.

Road Runners

 There's always some kind of run or walk through the park (tomorrow is the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure)  Today we saw a Road Runners sponsored race.  It was so much fun to watch the runners and listen to the people on the sidelines cheering.  Made me think of the 3-day and how important that encouragement is!

Moving along toward Harlem (I think)

A promenade

Waterfall in the north end of the park (Loch?)

Lesley took me through wooded paths that I never would have walked.  I loved it.  To think this is in the middle of New York City.  

Pedicabs

 We walked back to Columbus Circle for lunch at Whole Foods.  The following picture is for Sarge:

I think this sculpture was modeled after ME!

After a short break ... we reentered the park and I insisted on a visit to Strawberry Fields.

Imagine at Strawberry Fields

It was important for me to visit this memorial to John Lennon.  His message of peace is especially important today--the 9th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center.

I thank Lesley for taking me on a wonderful walk through Central Park today.  I loved every step.
