The Lake Has No Benches

I had wandered into Central Park a few days ago a bit later than I had hoped and spent very little time in there as it is quite creepy in the dark. What I accidentally found was the giant lake that starts at 86th street. Despite having been in NY for almost 4 years now I have not spent much time in Central Park, almost never traveling north of 70th within it. I decided I wanted to go back to this lake when it was day time in the stretch of amazing weather we were to experience.

Today I did just that. I walked from Penn Station, after leaving a friend of mine, all the way up to Central Park and then proceeded to stroll through the park with the end goal of reaching the lake, finding a bench, and reading for a few hours. Little did I know that the path surrounding this body of water is purely meant for walkers and joggers and thus is without a place to sit. Bummer.

I did find another bench and got some reading in. Today was an excellent day to be outside and I am glad that I was able to be for much of it.
