...an unexpected extra day in New York
I was planning to head home today, but the weather forecast for Boston today made me change my mind. Somehow arriving home and having to drive 40+ miles from the train station to my house in bad (snowy & windy) driving conditions didn't sound like the smartest move to me, and after all, plans are there to be changed.
It was a sunny but cold day here in New York, and I really wanted to get some exercise. I had access to the health club in the hotel, but you know me - I'd really rather be outside. I started the day with a walk from the hotel to Penn Station and back to change my train ticket. After that jaunt I warmed up a bit, then decided to head to Central Park. There were quite a few people there, but the thing I really enjoyed was watching the animals!

 | This dog dressed in his fleece coat and booties was priceless. He was sitting practically at attention, watching some squirrels chase each other up and down a tree! |

| Is it better to walk on the ice or to swim in some very cold water? It seems the consensus here was that swimming was preferred. |

| Ah, this chunk of snow makes a good place to sit for a while... |
