Day 14: hanging in New york

It's not as efficient as it once was, but we set off this morning for the obligatory run in Central Park. Didn't really get going early, and the subway ride takes a while, but it's a must do. Still a great park. Lots of dirt trails to get lost in. The people were out in groves on a sunny Saturday in July, but hat comes with the business of the largest park in the largest city in the country.

Hauled all the way back to shower and get a little brunch, then oddly enough headed back out, to that exact same spot to check out the natural history museum. I hadn't been there since 2010, so I wanted to check it out again. He thing is absolutely enormous. We perused the animal mounts from various continents and dabbled a little of the fossils. It's so cool to gaze up at the remains of some 100 ft long creature. The blue whale to scale is still one of the highlights though. Very cool.

Back in Brooklyn, we grabbed dinner with deLaubs and Beita at Vanessa's dumplings. It's a good cheap eat place with an original location I had been to in Chinatown.

Not much motivation to go out in the evening. We relaxed on the patio watching the sun set over the east river and Williamsburg bridge. Not a bad activity if your staying in though.
