Mike

Hi Mom,

Got lost in Central Park this weekend while trying to cut straight across from east to west after drinks at the boathouse.

At least the park's large, so I have some excuse. The paths wind around, the trails turn suddenly, things like that. We wound up by a fishing pond, some really wooded areas, and what looked like an aquaduct. I love that after more than four years of living here, there are still new pieces of the park to explore. Might consider taking a map next time.

I was showing Mike around; he came down from Boston for the weekend. It was great having him visit. Among our other adventures: sushi, a beer garden, and brunch.

Plus sitting on Brad Belsky's roof drinking red wine.

I'd been trying to get Mike out here to visit for years. Now that he's seen how great the city is, hopefully it won't be too long before he's back. This place is kind of addictive. Oh, and he said to tell you hello!

Love,
Karen
