Sunday we went for a walk and instead of turning our usual left and going to the park we turned right and walked along the river. It was magical and a whole new part of the city that we never knew was there. At first we had the river on one side and FDR highway on the other side but as we walked further north we walked into a beautiful park and walkway the is above the highway. It was really a nice evening with people walking with their families and dogs. The best part about this walk was the fireflies were out. Ryan has never seen then and I have seen them once before and they are awesome. They are mesmerizing and I would watch them for hours. My co workers were shocked that we have never seen them before. Then they were shocked that we don't have fireflies in the west. (I wont get into it now but we have discovered that a lot of the people on the East coast are a little closed off about the rest of the United States. They seem to not realise that some things are different and New York is not the standard it is the exception.)

Love it! We just discovered that park last week, and it is so great. I feel like the 60's and 70's get shorted for having such a dinky, crappy walk along the river - but as soon as you hit 81st it's magical! :)
