Independence on Wednesday

We improved our metro navigation skills and headed out in many directions to explore The City on foot, on bus, and with private guides. At the end of the day we gathered, wine in hand, to share what we did and plan what will be our last day together on the caravan.



The Museum of the City of New York held several surprises for us. The 19th and 20th century toy collection was quite impressive as were the full scales rooms of Millionaires Row. Befitting our theme, we learned a great deal at the exhibit on Hudson and the early history of New York. We finished our tour of the museum admiring an outstanding photographic exhibit with a Dutch slant.



Then we headed out for another 10K Volksmarch, this time through Central Park. We have ridden a cab and a horsecart previously around the park, but we really appreciated its wonders as we walked the many paths past reservoirs, playgrounds, statues, a carousel, and along the zoo. In the middle of this beautiful park, it is hard to remember the vast city that encircles it.
