Recently, we attended a conference in New Jersey which finished at 12pm on Sunday. We were able to get a
ride from Fifi and her husband who live and work in the vicinity of the conference
venue.
We ordered some cold drinks, a special taro chips, salsa and a kimchi bacon burger- delicious!
We stopped at McDonald for ice cream and then
he took us to Time Square.
Lots of people, more than I remembered from our last visit.
It was nice just sitting there and enjoying people watching and the breezes blowing on our faces.
Leaving New York City that evening at 8:45pm from the New York Port Authority, we needed to be mindful of our time. E. took us to the bus terminal, carrying my suitcase and finding us the right terminal. He was very helpful indeed. It was good seeing him even for a few hours! We are grateful for any time we could spend with our loved ones!

They dropped us off at the Trenton Transit Centre. The first
thing we did after leaving the TCNJ campus was to check our phone messages and
wifi as we were unable to get wifi access and phone messages at the conference
location.
Thank goodness, we were able to connect with E. on S’s cell. Then
took the 2:37pm New Jersey train to Penn station in New York. I was surprised how crowed the train was on s
Sunday afternoon.

By the time we were out of the Penn Station, it was 4:40pm.
We waited for E, at 5th and 33rd Street for a few
minutes. Then we saw an excited E. running towards us to greet us! What a
feeling to be so welcome. E. was dressed in his gym outfit and he looked fit
and well.
He asked us what we would like to see in NY. We told him, we wanted to be outside enjoying the lovely weather.
He took us to his favourite park -
the Bryant Park, a lovely public outdoor space for New York residents.
There were a few food stands and cafes opened and E. took us for a quick tour of the park.
The park was busy with visitors!
Bryan Park was designed as a Scenic Landmark in 1974 by the New York Landmark Preservation Commission.
Designed in the French Classical style, Bryan Park covers an area of six acres.
It is an urban oasis with many mature trees, more than 100 types of woody shrubs, perennials and 150,000 bulbs!
Admission to the park was free and there were a lot to do for park visitors.
We discovered a Reading
Room in the park where free books and programs were available for children and
adults.
What a great idea! An outdoor reading room to enjoy two of the most enjoyable activities in life - reading and enjoying the outdoors!
There were lots of things for families and kids to do, such as this carousel.
A mini golf course for the little park visitors.
There were ping pong tables for ping pong
beginners and enthusiasts.
We saw a stage for performances and free movie showings during the summer months.
