Weekend Daze...

Yay for three day weekends! This weekend was fun. Friday was uneventful, I mostly rested from the week, read, and did laundry. Saturday I ended up spending most of the day at Central Park. I was going for a walk after breakfast when I got a text from one of my classmates, Jenna. They were going to have a picnic in the park. So I went home, showered, ate lunch and went back to meet everyone at 1:30. We found a nice grassy spot and laid around, eating and trying to memorize our tongue twister for Monday's class. After that, we walked around the park, which was pretty crowded probably due to the holiday and the lovely weather. We saw several street performers. We stopped to watch a couple. One was a group of 3 young men who did acrobatic/gymnastic types of things. It was about an hour long but about 30 minutes of that was devoted to collecting money from the crowd (and it was quite amazing to see how freely people gave up their hard earned cash)! Their big finish was lining up 3 people and making them bend over, and then one of the guys ran and jumped/flipped over them all. Here's a pic of one of them "walking" down the stairs:

And here are some more pics of the lovely Central Park:
