Sunday, and a good day to see New Yawkers out enjoying their city. We spent about an hour reading at the little tables and chairs set up in Union Square, where about thirty or forty people were doing the same thing. Later in the day, while L and M were attending a big-time Broadway musical, I returned to the Sheep Meadow in Central Park, where a couple hundred people were sunbathing, throwing frisbees, kicking soccer balls, and ---two people at least---hanging from a tree limb with these sort of very long scarves, a circus act right there for all to see. I saw also sand volleyball courts in full use and hundreds of joggers and bikers. It is nice to see a public area get such use.
With one more day in Manhattan, we are re-reading the tourist material to see how to best play tourist one more time. We have been averaging about three or four hours of walking a day, so we may give in to the temptation to ride one of the hop-on, hop-off tourist busses. If we go in search of one, it will ironic because roughly fifty times we have been offered such a trip by people hawking such rides wherever we walked.
