I really enjoyed my weekend at home. Saw my family, got money, ate really good food, went to Central Park and walked over 60 blocks.. basically 80% of the park. Some people didnt see it as a big deal but I really enjoyed the installation. I started on 103rd street and walked down, west to east, east to west.. and at one point, walked a semi-circle around the Great Lawn. There were lots of families with dogs and kids, there were them indie NYU Tisch kids, there were the 100s of photographers, there were reporters, there were videographers, etc. It was really awesome to see that this united so many NYorkers together, as corny as that sounds. Tons of smiles, tons of happy kids and dogs. People were extremely friendly to my sister and I.. hell, an ad for the United Colors of Bennetton family asked us to take pics of them..haha. When we were done looking at the massive flowing 'saffron' gates, we exited to find us some grub. I was really surprised when we exited that it was 58th street.. It seemed like our stroll was shorter but heck it was fun. We even got mini souvenirs; a piece of the 'saffron' gates.. No, I did not bring a pair of scissors and cut a piece, the volunteers had them and were giving them out. lovely.
