Manhattan

The night was hot and the air was thick and sticky.
I thought about staying home; the ac pumping cold air and making me feel comfortable, but I decided to drive to Manhattan and walk around.

I drove through Queens and crossed the 59th street bridge. I found parking around 68th and walked towards Lincoln Center. The fountain was lit and people gathered around it, taking pictures, and admiring the symphony of water noises as the water from the fountain jumped all over the place.

I also had some very good and tasty gelato. There wre about 2o flavors to choose from which it always makes it difficult for me since I like them all. I thought the colors looked somewhat pretty so I took a picture of the gelato selection. The display made them all feel so inviting that I had two scoops; one of vanilla and the other one was mint. After awhile I went to the movie theater at 68 street to watch "Despicable me". It was better than I expected and I had a great time. I do this things once in awhile. Hit the city by
myself and be just another tourist. New York is a very inviting place even if you are just wondering about by yourself. There is always something new that attracts your attention and the way you feel, knowing that for a couple of hours at least, it's just you in one of the biggest cities in the world, is exhilarating..
