Walking in LA... er... NYC...

[kickaha]

(Ha! Earworm!)

ginkgo greeted me when I got home tonight with "Want to go for a walk?" I was kind of blown, and tired, but I thought "Oh sure, a quick walk might not be so bad."

*ahem*

Not quite what I had in mind...

What can I say? She bribed me with hum bao and bubble tea in Chinatown. Hard to turn down that.

Gorgeous views across the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, Statue of Liberty in the distance, Manhattan throwing all sorts of wonderful angles in the sunset... and we both forgot the camera this time down. D'oh!

Well, dang, I didn't realize you were in the City... I was just in Brooklyn last weekend.

Just north of actually, so tack on a total of two hours of train and subway to the three+ hours of walking...

But yeah, if you're up this way again, give us a shout - we're just a hop, skip and a train ride to The City.

Pretty cool if you want to know how far you went (though if you're somewhere where the streets curve it's a bit inaccurate since it's point to point as the crow flies)

Eh, I was thrilled not to be hauling a camera and other piles of crap. :)

Thanks!

We normally walk our asses off when we go down, so I imagine we'll be using this sometime soon.

(And I'm very happy that there are now enough Google employees in Manhattan that it's worthwhile for them to add subway stops to the maps of Manhattan. :D )
