THE GATES - NEW YORK CITY, CENTRAL PARK, Sunday, February 20, 2005

We (minus Cassady) were in NYC today, Sunday, February 20, 2005, to see The Gates in Central Park. And then there's our attemp to go down on Saturday. We arrive at the bus terminal for the ride to NYC at around 8:30am... to find a line of nearly a thousand people, or more, with the same idea! We waited about two hours. It didn't look like there would be enough buses until after noon. So we bailed and returned home. Next morning we are at the bus terminal by 7:15am. And there are only 50+ people ahead of us. The bus we got left a bit before 8, NYC about 12:30pm. Short subway ride, and an 8 block walk to Central Park. There were people wearing all sorts of orange things. A rollerblader with orange wheels. A Dachshund with an orange sweater. And we both noticed the not insignificant number of women wearing Blackgamma mink coats. There must we a lot of money in this town. Now, back home, writing these words, having uploaded the pictures, my feeling is one of having returned from a foreign country. And so many people. There must have been millions of them. A veritable seething mass! Central Park has probably never seen so many people in such a short time. We cut across the park at one point and found a very hilly section with paths going every which way.
