Central Park on a Summer Saturday

The Mall and the Literary Walk -- One of My Favorite Spots in the Park

I finally feel like I'm settling into life in the city. My nephew was visiting this weekend, so we trekked all over Manhattan but spent a couple of hours in Central Park in the afternoon. I only live 10-12 blocks from the southern end of the park now, and I'm really not taking enough advantage of it. (I did go running in the park a few weeks ago but got overzealous, ended up around 96th street somewhere and realized that I had 50 blocks to walk home ... bad plan.) The sights from yesterday definitely inspired me to spend some more time there.
